At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.
The words of truth are always paradoxical.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful.
Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu ( also Lao Tse) was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, and best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching.

Mágicas palabras
I’d like to add another quote by Lao Tzu (there are many more):
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
awesome lines.. love them!
2 thumbs up for this! It’s all true and very inspiring! Lao Tzu is really great! :)
Really mesmerising. But most mesmerised people return to their ugly practical senses surprisingly soon. There lies the problem
played with the emotional words and their meanings……. but it was really touching………
i became heavyhearted…….
totally agreed on responding intelligenly even to unintelligent treatment..confidence , profoundness and love will flow naturally..nicely shared!
How many of us read such profound truth and leave it on the page?
MUCHAS VECEZ NOS RESISTIMOS AL CAMBIO Y ES BUENO ANIMO SIEMPRE
Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like……..how does this thing work???? that which leads me in the end to the path i desire?
That is the part where I also get confused… If we let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like, would there be any development in humanity??????
Resisting may create sorrow but wouldn’t it help us in a way? To be back on track where we want to lead.
The other things he says, yes I agree..
Should we accept everything just because “Lao Tzu” says it?
I can understand your feelings. I think let the things flow naturally mrans to tolet them do it and feel yourself inside in harmony, be sure that that what you want will be yours.
Amazingly true, and exactly what I needed to read today.
Thank you.
Adorable words !!!
A realidade é sempre dura,mas os sonhos são sempre mais reais!!!!É preciso acreditar que algo vai dar certo, se não fosse por isso já estaria em outra dimensão.A minha solidão é grande e é desde os 6 meses de idade, venho lutando com minha realide. Minha história é muito boa, daria várias novelas,pois houve várias etapas, às vezes vencidas às vezes ganha.Feliz daquele que é amado ou foi amado e deu amor pois sempre restará boas lembranças.
