More Quotes from Lao Tzu:
Why not simply honor your parents, love your children, help your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility for problems, practice virtue without first demanding it of others, understand the highest truths yet retain an ordinary manner That would be true clarity, true simplicity, true mastery.Lao Tzu
The Tao Way that can be told of is not the eternal TaoThe name that can be named is not the eternal name.The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and EarthThe Named is the mother of all things.Therefore, let there always be non-being, so we may see their subtlety,And let there always be being, so we may see their outcome.The two are the same,But after they are produced, they have different names.They both may be called deep and profound.Deeper and more profound,The door of all subtleties
Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu
If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
Lao Tzu
