The Tao of the sage is work without effort.

The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.

Laozi 1311 quotes

He who stands on tiptoe does not stand firm.

As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward; the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.

The most able seems clumsy.

Do not make them (people) weary at their work. If you do not make them weary, they will not be weary of you.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Those who are highly evolved,...

Those who are highly evolved, maintain an undiscriminating perception. Seeing everything, labeling nothing, they maintain their awareness of the Great Oneness. Thus they are supported by it.

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 1311 quotes

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.

People are hard to govern. The rulers interfere with too much. That is why people are hard to govern.

Those who have compassion when they do battle will be victorious. Those who likewise defend themselves will be safe. Heaven will rescue and protect them with compassion.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The first practice is the practice of undiscriminating virtue: take care of those who are deserving; also, and equally, take care of those who are not. When you extend your virtue in all directions without discriminating, you feet are firmly planted on the path that returns to the Tao.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death. The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.

No disaster is worse than being discontented.

Tao loves and nourishes all things, but does not dominate it over them.

He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.

The Way of the Sage is to act but not to compete.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If a country is governed with...

If a country is governed with tolerance, the people are comfortable and honest. If a country is governed with repression, the people are depressed and crafty. When the will to power is in charge, the higher the ideals, the lower the results. Try to make people happy, and you lay the groundwork for misery. Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice. Thus the Master is content to serve as an example and not to impose her will. She is pointed, but doesn't pierce. Straightforward, but supple. Radiant, but easy on the eyes.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Throw away sacredness and wisdom and people will be one hundred times happier.
