The natural laws of the universe are inviolable... what you say and do determines what happens in your life... You are the master of your life and death. What you do is what you are.

More quotes by Laozi
If you have really attained wholeness, everything will flock to you.
Laozi
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Laozi
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Laozi
Stillness is easy to maintain.
Laozi
Those who act will fail. Those who seize will lose.
Laozi
If people are not afraid of dying, why threaten them with death?
Laozi
The sage has no concern for himself, but makes the concerns of others his own.
Laozi
Cultivate virtue in yourself, and it will be true.
Laozi
The Great Tao flows everywhere, to the left and to the right, all things depend on it to exist, and it does not abandon them. To its accomplishments it lays no claims. It loves and nourished all things, but does not lord it over them.
Laozi
By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.
Laozi
The grandest virtue seems deficient.
Laozi
The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.
Laozi
When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating.
Laozi
Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.
Laozi
Pursue without interfering.
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
The good man is the teacher of the bad, And the bad is the material from which the good may learn. He who does not value the teacher, Or greatly care for the material, Is greatly deluded although he may be learned. Such is the essential mystery.
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
Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.
Laozi
The valley spirit never dies. It is called the mystical female.
Laozi
