More quotes by Laozi
The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.
Laozi
. . . These are notions of the mind, which is like a knife, always chipping away at the Tao, trying to render it graspable and manageable. But that which is beyond form is ungraspable, and that which is beyond knowing is unmanageable. There is, however, this consolation: She who lets go of the knife will find the Tao at her fingertips.
Laozi
Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.
Laozi
Take care of what is difficult while it is still easy, and deal with what will become big while it is yet small.
Laozi
Other people are occupied, I alone am unwilling, like the outcast.
Laozi
Can you open and close the gate of Heaven and act like a woman?
Laozi
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
The mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies Remembering this, he keeps his attitude unstructured at all times and thus is always free to pursue the Integral Way. He studies the teachings of the masters. He dissolves all concepts of duality. He pours himself out in service to others.
Laozi
Giving birth and nourishing, Bearing yet not possessing, Working yet not taking credit, Leading yet not dominating, This is the Primal Virtue.
Laozi
Those who are quiet value the words. When their task is completed, people will say: We did it ourselves.
Laozi
By moderation one can be generous.
Laozi
Going back to the origin is called peace it means reversion to destiny. Reversion to destiny is called eternity. Those who know eternity are called enlightened.
Laozi
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
Laozi
Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking. Center your country in the Tao and evil will have no power. Not that it isn't there, but you'll be able to step out of its way. Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
Laozi
The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind. The triumph of violence ends in a festival of mourning.
Laozi
The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world. Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.
Laozi
Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.
Laozi
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.
Laozi
They can see their neighbors. Roosters and dogs can be heard from there. Still, they will age and die without visiting one another.
Laozi
There was something that finished chaos, born before Heaven and Earth.
Laozi
