Since wind does not last the whole morning, shower does not last the whole day. Good deed, leaves no traces good speech, without reproaches good plan, needs no plotting good door, needs no lock, yet cannot be open good binding requires no knots, yet cannot be untie. Keep sharpening your knife and it cannot preserve its sharpness for long. Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Who can patiently wait till mud settles and water is clear? Who can sit still till the right action arises by itself? #10 Tao Te Ching, Chapter 9: 持而盈之,不如其已。揣而銳之,不可常保。ġ0.
#TAO QUOTES CONFLICT FREE#
One who is contented knows no shame, one who knows when to stop is free from danger, long live shall he. One who knows what is enough, will always have enough. The sage has no possessions, the more he does for others, the more he has the more he gives to others, the more he receives. Mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power. Knowing others is intelligence knowing yourself is true wisdom. He who knows does not speak he who speaks does not know. But when you try and try, the world is beyond the winning. A journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step. A good leader is one who talks little, when the work is accomplished, they will all say, “We did this ourselves.” #2 Tao Te Ching, Chapter 64: 千里之行始於足下。Ģ. A leader who does not trust enough will not be trusted. A leader is best when people barely know that he exists next they loved and praised him next they fear him next they despised him. Taishang Laojun is a title for Laozi in the Taoist religion, which refers to him as “One of the Three Pure Ones”. Laozi is revered as a deity in most religious forms of Taoism. Laozi literally means “ Old Master” and is generally considered an honorific. In loving the people and ruling the state, cannot he proceed without any (purpose of) action?
