Image
Much knowledge will corrupt the heart,/When partly understood,/And so the people grow too smart,/But neither wise nor good.
Laozi

Laozi
Image
We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable.
Laozi

The world is won by those who let it go.
Laozi

Laozi
Image
The truly great ones rely on substance, and not on surface, hold on to the fruit, and not to the flower.

Laozi
Image
The one who can dissolve her mind will suddenly discover the Tao at her feet.
Laozi

Laozi
Image
Nature doesn't make long speeches.
Laozi
Image
The well-run group is not a battlefield of egos.
Laozi

Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.
Laozi
Image
When you accept yourself, the Universe accepts you.
Laozi

The wise man knows he doesn't know.
