Laozi

As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go; hopeless, we are lost forever.

Laozi

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Laozi

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

Be who you are, and go the whole way.

Laozi

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

Laozi

Before healing others, heal yourself.

Laozi

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Laozi

Confidence is the greatest friend.

Laozi

Covetousness is the greatest misfortune. One who does not know what is enough will never have enough.

Laozi

Deal with it before it happens. Set things in order before there is confusion.

Laozi
