More Quotes from Lao Tzu:
If you go searching for the Great Creator, you will come back empty-handed. The source of the universe is ultimately unknowable, a great invisible river flowing forever through a vast and fertile valley. Silent and uncreated, it creates all things.Lao Tzu
Fail to honor people,they fail to honor you but of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, 'We did this ourselves.'
Lao Tzu
It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.
Lao Tzu
(The Tao) is always present and always available.... If you are willing to be lived by it, you will see it everywhere, even in the most ordinary things.
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
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
