Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?
("Tao Te Ching")
More Quotes from Lao Tzu:
Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it.Lao Tzu
Clay is moulded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing.... Thus, taking advantage of what is,we recognize the utility of what is not.
Lao Tzu
Look, it cannot be seen it is beyond form. Listen, it cannot be heard it is beyond sound. Grasp, it cannot be held it is intangible. These three are indefinable Therefore they are joined in one. From above it is not bright From below it is not dark An unbroken thread beyond description. It returns to nothingness. The form of the formless, The image of the imageless, It is called indefinable and beyond imagination. Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present. Knowing the ancient beginning is the essence of Tao.
Lao Tzu
We put thirty spokes to make a wheel But it is on the hole in the center that the use of the cart hinges. We make a vessel from a lump of clay But it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful. We make doors and windows for a room But it is the empty spaces that make the room livable. Thus, while existence has advantages, It is the emptiness that makes it useful.
Lao Tzu
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.
Lao Tzu
When the best leader's work is done the people say, "We did it ourselves."
Lao Tzu
