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

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.

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

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.

He who stands on tiptoe does not stand firm.

Laozi 1311 quotes

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

The Tao of the sage is work without effort.

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.

Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.

Praise leads to weakness. Getting it causes fear, losing it causes fear.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The great Tao flows everywher...

The great Tao flows everywhere. All things are born from it, yet it doesn't create them. It pours itself into its work, yet it makes no claim. It nourishes infinite worlds, yet it doesn't hold on to them. Since it is merged with all things and hidden in their hearts, it can be called humble. Since all things vanish into it and it alone endures, it can be called great. It isn't aware of its greatness; thus it is truly great.

Laozi 1311 quotes

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step - Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.

Laozi 1311 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 1311 quotes

Clay is fashioned into vessel...

Clay is fashioned into vessels; it is on their empty hollowness that their use depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a dwelling, and on the empty space within, its use depends. Thus, while the existence of things may be good, it is the non-existence in them that makes them serviceable.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Though (the Tao) is uncreated...

Though (the Tao) is uncreated itself, it creates all things. Because it has no substance, it can enter into where there is no space. Exercising by returning to itself, winning victories by remaining gentle and yielding, it is softer than anything, and therefore overcomes everything hard.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The whole world says that my ...

The whole world says that my Way is great like nothing else. It is great because it is like nothing else. If it were like everything else, it would long ago have become insignificant.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Why are the people rebellious...

Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious.

To be worn out is to be renewed.
