Laozi

The leader is best, When people are hardly aware of his existence, Not so good when people praise his government, Less good when people stand in fear, Worst, when people are contemptuous.

Laozi

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.

Laozi

Superior leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all.

Laozi

Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.

Laozi

There are three layers to the universe. In the lower, Tai Ching, and the middle, Shan Ching, the hindrance of a physical bodily existence is required. Those who fail to live consistently in accord with the Tao reside here. In the upper, Yu Ching, there is only Tao: the bondage of form is broken, and the only thing existing is the exquisite energy dance of the immortal divine beings.

Laozi

Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.

Laozi

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

Laozi

The light of the Way seems dim.

Laozi

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

The words of truth are always paradoxical.

Laozi

There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take the one with a heart.

Laozi
