Lao Tzu

  • Talia Garzahas quotedlast year
    Why are excessive care and great anxiety alike bad for one? The very reason I have anxiety is because I have a body. If I have not body why would I be anxious?
    Therefore if he who administers the empire, esteems it as his own body, then he is worthy to be trusted with the empire.
  • Gisela Massarahas quotedlast year
    If you fix upon your consciousness the fact that the desire you feel for the possession of riches is one with the desire of Omnipotence for more complete expression, your faith becomes invincible

    Si fijas en tu conciencia el hecho de que el deseo que sientes de poseer riquezas es uno con el deseo de Omnipotencia de una expresión más completa, tu fe se vuelve invencible.

    Letting Go is better

    Than Filling to the Brim.

    A blade overly sharpened

    Does not last long.

    Halls stuffed with gold and jade

    None can preserve.

    Wealth, Rank, Pride,

    All bring Calamity.

    The Tao of Heaven-and-Nature

    Is to Accomplish

    And to Withdraw
  • b9621939555has quoted2 years ago
    Whosoever Achieves Fame and fails to Withdraw, whosoever does not Let Go, but remains stuck in the place of Honor and Glory, will surely meet with Harm. The Taoist follows the Cycle of the Tao, of Heaven-and-Nature

    The sun declines

    From its zenith,

    The moon waxes

    Only to wane,

    Flowers bloom

    Only to fade,

    The greatest joy

    Turns to sorrow
  • b9621939555has quoted2 years ago
    That which is Filled to the Brim will spill. That which is overly sharpened will break. Such extremes bring their own downfall. Eschew them. No one can hold on to Wealth for ever

    The Taoist Returns

    To the Root,

    Witnesses the Outer Radiance

    At its height,

    The Full and the Sharp,

    Wealth and Prosperity,

    Then Retreats within

    To Self-Cultivation,

    Frees Self

    From Desire,

    Contemplates

    The Inner Marvel,

    Nourishes

    The Embryo Pearl,

    Safe from Calamity

    This is the Tao of Heaven-and-Nature. This is the Cycle of the Tao. When Grandeur (the auspicious Eleventh Hexagram of the I Ching,) reaches its Limit of Transformation, when all of its Lines Change, when every one of its three Yang Lines Changes to Yin, and every one of its three Yin Lines Changes to Yang, then Obstruction (the inauspicious Twelfth Hexagram,) is Born. And vice versa. The one cannot exist without the other. This is the alternation and evolution of Change, the Cycle of Yin and Yang

    To withdraw

    Into Retirement

    In the wake of

    Accomplishment and Success,

    To Let Go,

    Averts Calamity
