More quotes by Laozi
Solve it before it happens. Order it before chaos emerges.
Laozi
When one gives whatever one can without restraint, the barriers of individuality break down. It no longer becomes possible to tell whether it is the student offering himself to the teacher, or the teacher offering herself to the student. One sees only two immaculate beings, reflecting one another like a pair of brilliant mirrors.
Laozi
All men desire to free themselves solely from death they do not know how to free themselves from life.
Laozi
Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here.
Laozi
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Laozi
A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step - Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

Laozi
Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, which is majestic.
Laozi
A government can be compared to our lungs. Our lungs are best when we don't realize they are helping us breathe. It is when we are constantly aware of our lungs that we know they have come down with an illness.
Laozi
Justice has long arm.
Laozi
No disaster is worse than being discontented.
Laozi
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Laozi
