More quotes by Laozi
Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.

Laozi
There is a thing inherent and natural which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It may be regarded as the Mother of the Universe. I do not know its name. If I am forced to give It a name, I call it Tao, and I name it as supreme.
Laozi
Shape clay into a vessel It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there Usefulness from what is not there.
Laozi
If you scramble about in search of inner peace, you will lose your inner peace.
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
The most straight seems curved.
Laozi
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
Laozi

Laozi
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. The way of nature is unchanging. Knowing constancy is insight.
Laozi
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.
Laozi
