If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.

More quotes by Laozi
Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course? Can you step back from you own mind and thus understand all things? Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.
Laozi
Cultivate virtue in yourself, and it will be true.
Laozi
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
What is strong and rigid is snapped and laid low. What is flexible and soft will always prevail.
Laozi
The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
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
If you see what is small as it sees itself, and accept what is weak for what strength it has, and use what is dim for the light it gives then all will go well. This is called Acting Naturally.
Laozi
Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Laozi
The Tao is always at ease. It overcomes without competing, answers without speaking a word, arrives without being summoned, accomplishes without a plan. Its net covers the whole universe. And though its meshes are wide, it doesn't let a thing slip through.
Laozi
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Laozi
For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.
Laozi
The great Way is very straight, but people prefer to deviate.
Laozi
Those who die without being forgotten get longevity.
Laozi
The further one goes, the less (he realizes he) one knows.
Laozi
Yet mystery and reality emerge from the same source.
Laozi
Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline simulated fear postulates courage simulated weakness postulates strength.
Laozi
If you have really attained wholeness, everything will flock to you.
Laozi
For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.
Laozi
Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.
Laozi
Stay at the center and let all things take their course.
Laozi
