Laozi Quotes

The Tao never does anything, yet through it all things are done. If powerful men and women could venter themselves in it, the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its natural rhythms. People would be content with their simple, everyday lives, in harmony, and free of desire. When there is no desire, all things are at peace Picture Quote #1

When the great Tao is forgotten, goodness and piety appear. When the body’s intelligence declines, cleverness and knowledge step forth. When there is no peace in the family, filial piety begins. When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born Picture Quote #1

The truly wise are content to be last. They are, therefore, first. They are indifferent to themselves. They are, therefore self-confident Picture Quote #1

The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure Picture Quote #1

In ancient times, people said that imperfect moves to becoming perfect. Are these words vain? No! Truly, by gaining Unity you come to Perfection! Picture Quote #1

Know the white, But keep the black, Be an example to the world! Being an example to the world, Ever true and unwavering, Return to the infinite Picture Quote #1

Abandon fancy theologies and imaginary ideas and do some ordinary daily work... {Engage in this work with} unswerving kindness and unending patience Picture Quote #1

Know honor, Yet keep humility. Be the valley of the universe! Being the valley of the universe, Ever true and resourceful, Return to the state of the uncarved block Picture Quote #1

Heaven is eternal and Earth everlasting. They can be eternal and everlasting because they do not exist for themselves, And for this reason can exist forever Picture Quote #1

Sages do not accumulate for themselves. The more they give to others, the more they possess of their own. The way of Heaven is to benefit others and not to injure Picture Quote #1

Not all spiritual paths lead to the harmonious Oneness. Indeed, most are detours and distractions, nothing more Picture Quote #1

What man has more than enough and gives it to the world? Only the man of Tao Picture Quote #1

There is no greater sin than desire, No greater curse than discontent, No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself. Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough Picture Quote #1

When you find the way/ others will find you./ Passing by on the road/ they will be drawn to your door./ The way that cannot be heard/ will be echoed in your voice./ The way that cannot be seen/ will be reflected in your eyes Picture Quote #1

[The Master] doesn’t glitter like a jewel... [but is] as rugged and common as a stone Picture Quote #1

Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question..... The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The sage does not attempt anything very big, and thus achieves greatness Picture Quote #1

Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us Picture Quote #1

Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return Picture Quote #1

A good person is the bad person’s teacher. A bad person is the good person’s task Picture Quote #1

A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei) Picture Quote #1

Simplicity has no name is free of desires. Being free of desires it is tranquil. And the world will be at peace of it’s own accord Picture Quote #1

When the worst student hears about the Way, he laughs out loud. If he did not laugh, it would be unworthy of being the Way Picture Quote #1

Every human being’s essential nature is perfect and faultless, but after years of immersion in the world we easily forget our roots and take on a counterfeit nature Picture Quote #1

Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained Picture Quote #1

Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small Picture Quote #1

The world’s big things only can be done by paying attention to their humble beginnings Picture Quote #1

In caring for others and serving heaven, There is nothing like using restraint Picture Quote #1

. . . 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 Picture Quote #1
