🌺“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.”🌺“When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly.When people see some things as good, other things become bad.”🌺“So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soulsees only what it wants.”🌺“She does not show herself, and therefore is apparent. She does not affirm herself, and therefore is acknowledged. She does not boast and therefore has merit. She does not strive and therefore is successful. It is exactly because she does not contend, that nobody can contend with her.”🌺“Accomplish but do not boast, accomplish without show, accomplish without arrogance, accomplish without grabbing, accomplish without forcing.”🌺“Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.”🌺“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.”🌺“If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness. Do not cast him away; cast away his wickedness.”🌺“To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.”🌺“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”🌺“Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment”🌺“If you understand others you are smart. If you understand yourself you are illuminated. If you overcome others you are powerful.If you overcome yourself you have strength.If you know how to be satisfied you are rich.If you can act with vigor, you have a will.If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting.If you die without loss, you are eternal.”🌺“Be content with what you have;rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking,the whole world belongs to you.”🌺“The unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soulsees only what it wants.” Quotes from Lao Tzu 老子
