Laozi

If you worry more for others’ beliefs, then you will be their slave.

Laozi

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season.

Laozi

In order to eliminate the negative influences, simply ignore them.

Laozi

In work, do what you enjoy.

Laozi

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Laozi

Learn from the people. Plan with the people. Begin with what they have. Build on what they know.

Laozi

Loving, hating, having expectations: all these are attachments. Attachment prevents the growth of one’s true being.

Laozi

No misfortune is worse than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy, I risk losing my treasure.

Laozi

Nothing and no one in the world is valuable or worthless.

Laozi

Open yourself to the truth, then trust in your natural responses, and everything will fall into place.
