Laozi Quotes - Page 6

• True words aren't eloquent; eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point; men who need to prove their point aren't wise. The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is. The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.

• Success is as dangerous as failure.
  Hope is as hollow as fear.
  
  What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure?
  Whether you go up the ladder or down it,
  you position is shaky.
  When you stand with your two feet on the ground,
  you will always keep your balance.
  
  What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear?
  Hope and fear are both phantoms
  that arise from thinking of the self.
  When we don't see the self as self,
  what do we have to fear?
  
  See the world as your self.
  Have faith in the way things are.
  Love the world as your self;
  then you can care for all things.

  Laozi

  Fear, Failure, Mean
