Lao-Tzu Quotes

The Tao, When Brightest Seen, Seems Light To Lack;
Who Progress In It Makes, Seems Drawing Back;
Its Even Way Is Like A Rugged Track.
Its Highest Virtue From The Vale Doth Rise;
Its Greatest Beauty Seems To Offend The Eyes;
And He Has Most Whose Lot The Least Supplies.
Its Firmest Virtue Seems But Poor And Low;
Its Solid Truth Seems Change To Undergo;
Its Largest Square Doth Yet No Corner Show
A Vessel Great, It Is The Slowest Made;
Loud Is Its Sound, But Never Word It Said;
A Semblance Great, The Shadow Of A Shade.
