More quotes by Laozi
Abandon learning and there will be no sorrow.
Laozi
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.
Laozi
The reason why rivers and seas are able to be lords over a hundred mountain streams, is that they know how to keep below them. That is why they are able to reign over all the mountain streams.
Laozi
To delight in conquest is to delight in slaughter.
Laozi
A great country needs more people to serve it. A small country needs more people to serve. So, if both shall get what they need, the great country ought to yield.
Laozi
In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.
Laozi
To know you have enough is to be rich.
Laozi
Peace and quiet are preferred. Victory should not be praised.
Laozi

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
Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.
Laozi
Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.
Laozi
Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
Laozi
Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.
Laozi
When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the home.
Laozi
Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.
Laozi
There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.
Laozi
