Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Yet mystery and imagination ar...

Yet mystery and imagination arise from the same source. This source is called darkness ... Darkness within darkness, the gateway to all understanding.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Things flourish, then each returns to its root. Returning to the root is called stillness: Stillness is called return to life, return to life is called the constant; knowing the constant is called enlightenment.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Be Content with what you have;...

Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The wise stand out because the...

The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Speaking with kindness creates confidence, thinking with kindness creates profoundness, giving with kindness creates love.

Laozi 1311 quotes

As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The sage seeks freedom from desire. He does not collect precious things. He learns not to hold on to ideas. He brings men back to what they have lost.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Fame or integrity: which is mo...

Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Nothing on earth is so weak an...

Nothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Nothing is weaker than water, ...

Nothing is weaker than water, Yet for overcoming what is hard and strong, Nothing surpasses it.

Laozi 1311 quotes

I have three precious things w...

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Be humble and you will remain ...

Be humble and you will remain entire. The sages do not display themselves, therefore they shine. They do not approve themselves, therefore they are noted. They do not praise themselves, therefore they have merit. They do not glory in themselves, therefore they excel.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Keep behind, and you shall be ...

Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in.
