Old Master – Ancient Chinese Taoist Sage. Many believe he never existed at all, others give him several possible historical identities. The exact date of his birth is unknown. There are numerous legends about him. Lao Tzu believed that human life, like everything else in the universe, is constantly influenced by outside forces.<\/p>\n
He believed \u201csimplicity\u201d to be the key to truth and freedom and encouraged his followers to observe, and seek to understand the laws of nature; to develop intuition and build up personal power; and to use that power to lead a life with love, and without force.<\/p>\n
His eighty-one sayings of the \u201cTao-Te Ching\u201d are the world\u2019s most translated classic next to the Bible.

– Lao Tzu Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
Be the chief but never the lord.<\/strong> Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.<\/strong> Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.<\/strong> By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.<\/strong> Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows.<\/strong> When the best leader’s work is done the people say, “We did it ourselves.”<\/strong> Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.<\/strong> Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.<\/strong> For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.<\/strong> Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.<\/strong> To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.<\/strong> Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.<\/strong> In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.<\/strong> Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.<\/strong> Because of a great love, one is courageous.<\/strong> When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.<\/strong> 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.<\/strong> Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.<\/strong> In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.<\/strong> When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.<\/strong> The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.<\/strong> When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.<\/strong> The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.<\/strong> When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish. Lao Tzu<\/strong> If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.<\/strong> Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge.<\/strong> To see things in the seed, that is genius.<\/strong> Silence is a source of great strength.<\/strong> The words of truth are always paradoxical.<\/strong> Great acts are made up of small deeds.<\/strong> He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.<\/strong> Old Master – Ancient Chinese Taoist Sage. Many believe he never existed at all, others give him several possible historical identities.
