An integral being knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes without doing.

Laozi

Those who act will fail. Those who seize will lose.

That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the resistant, is a fact known by all, but practiced by few.
LAOZI

Fact Known Overcoming Practice
Softness triumphs over hardness, feebleness over strength. What is more malleable is always superior over that which is immoveable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them, of mastery through adaptation.
LAOZI

Mastery Principles Superior Triumph
What resists, persists.
LAOZI

Emotions Feel Persist Resist
Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.
LAOZI

He who loves does not dispute: He who disputes does not love.
LAOZI

Dispute Emotion Feelings Love
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in.
LAOZI

Behind Compassion Humility
Mastering others is strength. Mastering oneself makes you fearless.

When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people’s hearts.
LAOZI

A tree that is unbending, is easily broken.
LAOZI

Those who know are wise. Those who know themselves are enlightened.
LAOZI

Breathtaking Themselves Wisdom Wise
In ancient times, those who followed the Way did not try to give people knowledge thereof, but kept them ignorant.
LAOZI

Give Knowledge Ignorant People
