More quotes by Laozi
When the Way governs the world, the proud stallions drag dung carriages. When the Way is lost to the world, war horses are bred outside the city.
Laozi
He who is able to conquer others is powerful he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.
Laozi
When the highest type of people hear Tao (Truth), they diligently practice it. When the average type of people hear Tao, they half believe in it. When the lowest type of people hear Tao, they laugh at it. If they did not laugh, it would not be Tao.
Laozi
Tao invariably takes no action, and yet there is nothing left undone.
Laozi
These possessions of a simpleton being the three I choose and cherish: to care, to be fair, to be humble.
Laozi
We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable. We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
Laozi
On the one hand, loss implies gain on the other hand, gain implies loss.
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
Even the longest journey must begin where you stand.
Laozi
Open yourself to the truth, then trust in your natural responses, and everything will fall into place.
Laozi
The Way to Heaven has no favorites. It is always with the good man.
Laozi
A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step - Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.
Laozi
The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.
Laozi
Those who are self-righteous are not prominent.
Laozi
The wise leader settles for good work and then lets others have the floor.
Laozi
He who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
Laozi
If you worry more for others' beliefs, then you will be their slave.
Laozi
The great Way is all-pervading. It reaches to the left and to the right. All things depend on it with their existence. Still it demands no obedience.
Laozi
The truth often sounds paradoxical.
Laozi
Heaven and Earth last for ever. Why do Heaven and Earth last for ever? They are unborn, so ever living. The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
Laozi
