  • Lao Tzu Quote #16

    As to the roaming of sages,
    They move in utter emptiness,
    Let their minds meander in the great nothingness;
    They run beyond convention
    And go through where there is no gateway.
    They listen to the soundless
    And look at the formless,
    They are not constrained by society
    And not bound to its customs.
    - Lao-tzu

  • Lao Tzu Quote #17

    Attain complete emptiness,
    Hold fast to stillness.

    Understanding the ordinary:
    Mind opens.

    Mind opening leads to compassion,
    Compassion to nobility,
    Nobility to heavenliness,
    Heavenliness to TAO.

    TAO endures.
    Your body dies.

    There is no danger.

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

  • Lao Tzu Quote #28

    Existence is beyond the power of words
    To define:
    Terms may be used
    But are none of them absolute.
    In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
    Words came out of the womb of matter;
    And whether a man dispassionately
    Sees to the core of life
    Or passionately
    Sees the surface,
    The core and the surface
    Are essentially the same,
    Words making them seem different
    Only to express appearance.
    If name be needed, wonder names them both:
    From wonder into wonder
    Existence opens.

  • Lao Tzu Quote #29

    Failure is an opportunity.
    If you blame someone else,
    there is no end to the blame.
    Therefore the Master
    fulfills her own obligations
    and corrects her own mistakes.
    She does what she needs to do
    and demands nothing of others.

  • Lao Tzu Quote #30

    free from desire, you realize the mystery
    caught in the desire, you see only the manifestations.
