If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace.

More quotes by Laozi
People aren't against you they are for themselves. The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. He who conquers others is strong, he who conquers himself is mighty.
Laozi
If you see what is small as it sees itself, and accept what is weak for what strength it has, and use what is dim for the light it gives then all will go well. This is called Acting Naturally.
Laozi
The wise man looks back into the past, and does not grieve over what is far off, nor rejoice over what is near for he knows that time is without end.
Laozi
Know the white, But keep the black, Be an example to the world! Being an example to the world, Ever true and unwavering, Return to the infinite.
Laozi
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
Laozi
If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. If you let me experience, I will learn!

Is not the action of nature like the stretching of a bow? The high, it pulls down the low, it lifts up It takes from what is in excess In order to make good of what is deficient. Who can take what they have in excess and offer it to others?
Laozi
He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Laozi
Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult make something big by starting with it when small.

Without the tao, Kindness and compassion are replaced by law and justice Faith and trust are supplanted by ritual and ceremony.

The surest test if a person be sane, is if she accepts life whole, as it is.

Laozi
