There is no need to run outside for better seeing... Rather abide at the center of your being; For the more you leave it the less you learn. Search your heart and see... The way to do is to be.
LaoziOnly he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.
LaoziThe sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.
LaoziThose who have the courage to dare will perish. Those who have the courage not to dare will live.
LaoziThere is a thing inherent and natural which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes; It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It may be regarded as the Mother of the Universe. I do not know its name. If I am forced to give It a name, I call it Tao, and I name it as supreme.
Laozi
