More Quotes from Lao Tzu:
Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it.Lao Tzu
Do not imagine that an integral being has the ambition of enlightening the unaware or raising worldly people to the divine realm. To her, there is no self and other, and hence no one to be raised no heaven and hell, and hence no destination.
Lao Tzu
In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Lao Tzu
Favor and disgrace are like fear. Favor is in a higher place, and disgrace in a lower place. When you win them you are like being in fear, and when you lose them you are also like being in fear. So favor and disgrace are like fear.
Lao Tzu
By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may rule the world forever.
Lao Tzu
The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'
