Additional quotes by Lao Tzu
If we could renounce our sageness and discard our wisdom, it would be better for the people a hundredfold.
Wasting energy to obtain rare objects only impedes one's growth.
As to the roaming of sages,
They move in utter emptiness,
Let their minds meander in the great nothingness;
They run beyond convention
And go through where there is no gateway.
They listen to the soundless
And look at the formless,
They are not constrained by society
And not bound to its customs.
- Lao-tzu
