More quotes by Laozi
Those who praise themselves do not prevail.
Laozi
The Tao doesn't take sides it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
Laozi
Leadership is your ability to hide your panic from others.
Laozi
The highest tone is hard to hear.
Laozi
Man, when living, is soft and tender when dead, he is hard and tough. All animals and plants when living are tender and delicate when dead they become withered and dry. Therefore it is said: the hard and tough are parts of death the soft and tender are parts of life.
Laozi
If people live in constant fear of death, and if breaking the law is punished by death, then who would dare?
Laozi
The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.
Laozi
A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost
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
There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.
Laozi

If you can let go of (the Tao) with your mind and surround it with your heart, it will live inside you forever.
Laozi

Laozi
When the ancient Masters said, If you want to be given everything, give everything up, they weren't using empty phrases. Only in being lived by the Tao can you be truly yourself.
Laozi
If the majority doesn't laugh at you, beware that you must be saying something wrong. When the majority thinks you are a fool, only then is there some possibility of you being a wise man.
Laozi
In ancient times, those who followed the Way did not try to give people knowledge thereof, but kept them ignorant.
Laozi
Those who have compassion when they do battle will be victorious. Those who likewise defend themselves will be safe. Heaven will rescue and protect them with compassion.
Laozi
Good words shall gain you honor in the marketplace, but good deeds shall gain you friends among men.
Laozi
If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
Laozi
