Complete your task. Seek no r...

Complete your task. Seek no reward. Make no claims. Without faltering fully choose to do what you must do.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Intellectual knowledge exists...

Intellectual knowledge exists in and of the brain. Because the brain is part of the body, which must one day expire, this collection of facts, however large and impressive, will expire as well. {But spiritual insight transcends death.}

Laozi 1311 quotes

Softness triumphs over hardne...

Softness triumphs over hardness, feebleness over strength. What is more malleable is always superior over that which is immoveable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If the sage wants to stand ab...

If the sage wants to stand above people, he must speak to them from below. If he wants to lead people, he must follow them from behind.

Laozi 1311 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 1311 quotes

The best soldiers are not war...

The best soldiers are not warlike; the best fighters do not lose their temper. The greatest conquerors are those who overcome their enemies without strife. The greatest directors of men are those who yield place to others. This is called the Virtue of not striving, the capacity for directing mankind; this is being the compeer of Heaven. It was the highest goal of the ancients.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The way to use life is to do ...

The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The words of truth are always...

The words of truth are always paradoxical. To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Governing a large country is ...

Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If you really want everything...

If you really want everything, then give up everything.

That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved.

The Way is ever without action, yet nothing is left undone.

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Each new day is a blank page ...

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.

Laozi 1311 quotes

When they lose their sense of...

When they lose their sense of awe, people turn to religion. When they no longer trust themselves, they begin to depend upon authority. Therefore the Master steps back so that people won't be confused. He teaches without a teaching, so that people will have nothing to learn.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The Master doesn't seek fulfi...

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment. For only those who are not full are able to be used which brings the feeling of completeness.

Laozi 1311 quotes

A tree trunk the size of a ma...

A tree trunk the size of a man grows from a blade as thin as a hair. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth.

Laozi 1311 quotes

We go from birth to death. Th...

We go from birth to death. Three out of ten follow life. Three out of ten follow death. People who rush from birth to death are also three out of ten. Why is that so? Because they want to make too much of life.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The Tao gives birth to One. O...

The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things have their backs to the female and stand facing the male. When male and female combine, all things achieve harmony. Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.
