What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you do not remember this, You will get lost, No matter how intelligent you are. It is the great secret.

More quotes by Laozi

Image
The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.
Laozi
Image
Spokes unite in the hub of a wheel.
Laozi
Image
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Laozi
Image
He who tip-toes cannot stand he who strides cannot walk.
Laozi
Image
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
Laozi
Image
The best fighter is never angry.
Laozi
Image
Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao.
Laozi

Laozi
Image
. . . the mind is desperate to fix the river {of events} in place: Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the moment.
Laozi

Use the Light that dwells within you to regain your natural clarity of sight.
Laozi
Image
That, which others compress - will widen up and open. That, which others weaken - will strengthen. That, which others destroy - will blossom. Whoever wished to take something from the other, will inevitably loose his own.
Laozi
Image
The one who can dissolve her mind will suddenly discover the Tao at her feet.
Laozi
Image
The transformation toward eternal life is gradual. The heavy gross energy of body, mind, and spirit must first be purified and uplifted. When the energy ascends... then self mastery can be sought.
Laozi
Image
The Way of Tao is this: It strives not, but conquers It speaks not, but all is made clear It summons not, but its house is crowded It contrives not, but the design is perfect.
Laozi
Image
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
Laozi
Image
The Wise Man is square but not sharp, honest but not not malign, straight but not severe, bright but not dazzling.
Laozi
Image
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
Image
Sometimes gain comes from losing, and sometimes loss comes from gaining.
Laozi
Image
The Way to do is to be.
Laozi
Image
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
Laozi
