Laozi

He who controls the past controls the future.

Laozi

He who does not trust enough will not be trusted.

Laozi

He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Laozi

If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.

Laozi

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

Laozi

If you would take, you must first give. This is called the dawn of intelligence.

Laozi

In the end, the treasure of life is missed by those who hold on and gained by those who let go.

Laozi

Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.

Laozi

Knowing ignorance is strength; ignoring knowledge is sickness.

Laozi

Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small.

Laozi
