More quotes by Laozi
. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
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
The sage's Way is to act and not to contend.
Laozi
When you are one with loss, the loss is experienced willingly.
Laozi
The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all things... The complete whole is the complete whole. So also is any part the complete whole... But forget about understanding and harmonizing and making all things one. The universe is already a harmonious oneness just realize it.
Laozi
