Additional quotes by Laozi

Is not the Great Executor always there to kill?
To do the killing for the Great Executor
Is to chop wood for a master carpenter,
And you would be very lucky indeed if you did not hurt
your own hand!

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things. - Laozi
