Text Quotes
The ten thousand things flourish and then each returns to the root from which it came. Returning to the root is stillness. Through stillness each fulfils its destiny (Laozi Quotes)

What is well rooted cannot be pulled up. What is firmly grasped will not slip loose. It will be honoured from generation to generation (Laozi Quotes)
Whatever is flexible and living will tend to grow; whatever is rigid and blocked will wither and die (Laozi Quotes)
Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room; It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there; Usefulness from what is not there (Laozi Quotes)
The leader is a teacher who succeeds without taking credit. And, because credit is not taken, credit is received (Laozi Quotes)
If lightning is the anger of the gods, then the gods are concerned mostly about trees (Laozi Quotes)
A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one’s feet (Laozi Quotes)
We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable (Laozi Quotes)
All men desire to free themselves solely from death; they do not know how to free themselves from life (Laozi Quotes)

Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself (Laozi Quotes)
Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don’t see the self as self, what do we have to fear? (Laozi Quotes)
A vessel is formed from a lump of clay with care, however, it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful (Laozi Quotes)
Allow your softer, more intuitive, and less dominating feminine qualities to rise to the fore, so that you’re surrendering rather than dominating, receiving rather than broadcasting, loving rather than fighting (Laozi Quotes)
Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are (Laozi Quotes)
Praise of power leads to weakness; Love of things leads to loss; The wise one leads by filling people’s hearts; He destroys illusion and disturbs those who believe they are wise; He does nothing yet everything happens (Laozi Quotes)
The truly great man dwells on what is real and not what is on the surface (Laozi Quotes)
What is a good man? A teacher of a bad man. What is a bad man? A good man’s charge? (Laozi Quotes)
Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man’s tools. He uses them only when he has no choice (Laozi Quotes)
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. The way of nature is unchanging. Knowing constancy is insight (Laozi Quotes)
When taxes are too high, people go hungry. When the government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit. Act for the people’s benefit. Trust them; leave them alone (Laozi Quotes)
Whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. What is soft is strong (Laozi Quotes)
Don’t imagine that you’ll discover {the truth} by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge. You can’t get full eating this way (Laozi Quotes)
The mystical techniques for achieving immortality are revealed only to those who have dissolved all ties to the gross worldly realm of duality, conflict, and dogma. As long as your shallow worldly ambitions exist, the door will not open (Laozi Quotes)
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery (Laozi Quotes)
To consider this desirable would be to delight in the slaughter of men; and he who delights in the slaughter of men cannot get his will in the kingdom (Laozi Quotes)
These possessions of a simpleton being the three I choose and cherish: to care, to be fair, to be humble (Laozi Quotes)
The most powerful weapon known is the weapon of blessing. Therefore, a clever person relies on it. He wins with peace, not with war (Laozi Quotes)
... the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things (Laozi Quotes)
