More Quotes from Lao Tzu:
Though (the Tao) is uncreated itself, it creates all things. Because it has no substance, it can enter into where there is no space. Exercising by returning to itself, winning victories by remaining gentle and yielding, it is softer than anything, and therefore overcomes everything hard.Lao Tzu
A vessel is formed from a lump of clay with care, however, it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful.
Lao Tzu
To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
I confess that there is nothing to teach no religion, no science, no body of information which will lead your mind back to the Tao. Today I speak in this fashion, tomorrow in another, but always the Integral Way is beyond words and beyond mind.
Lao Tzu
For one gains by losing And loses by gaining.
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
