How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
Laozi
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Laozi
As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go hopeless, we are lost forever.
Laozi
Nature doesn't make long speeches.
Laozi
The value of teaching without words and accomplishing without action is understood by few in the world.
Laozi

Laozi

Laozi

Laozi
A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth. A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet.
Laozi
There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.
Laozi
Having reached a high level of realization (or having accomplished anything in life), don't get excited or puffed up with pride but remain calm, humble, and in perfect equanimity if you want to continue in this deep state of consciousness.
Laozi
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front keep out, and you shall be kept in.
Laozi
To know and not to do is not yet to know.
Laozi
A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.
Laozi
Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self then you can truly care for all things.
Laozi
