Lao Tzu’s Sayings About LIFE

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

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.

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past.If you are anxious, you are living in the future.

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.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

 I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.

 A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small.
