35 Inspiring & Philosophical Quotes By Lao Tzu (Laozi)

Lao-Tzu or Laozi was a philosopher and poet of ancient China (born in 571 BCE and lived during the Zhou Dynasty). He is best known as the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching and the founder of philosophical Taoism, but he is also revered as a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions.


A central figure in Chinese culture, Lao-Tzu is claimed by both the emperors of the Tang dynasty and modern people of the Li surname as a founder of their lineage. Throughout history, Lao-Tzu's work has been embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements.


1) “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”


2) “Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
(Tao Te Ching)


3) The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”


4) “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”


5) “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”


6) “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.”

11) “The best fighter is never angry.”


12) “Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.”


13) “Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”


14) “A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.”


15) “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”


16) “Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”


17) “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.”

you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.”

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.”

Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.”
