Lao Tzu
“Love

Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.”
Laozi, The Teachings of Lao-Tzu: The Tao-Te Ching

Lao Tzu
“Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self requires strength;
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu
“He is free from self- display, and therefore he shines;”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu
“In harmony with the Tao,
the sky is clear and spacious,
the earth is solid and full,
all creatures flourish together,
content with the way they are,
endlessly repeating themselves,
endlessly renewed.

when man interferes with the Tao
the sky becomes filthy,
the earth becomes depleted,
the equilibrium crumbles,
creatures become extinct.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu
“Love is a decision - not an emotion!”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
