Tao Quotes on Love

Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.


Lao Tzu

I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.

Lao Tzu

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



Lao Tzu

I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:
The first is deep love,
The second is frugality,
And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.
Because of deep love, one is courageous.
Because of frugality, one is generous.
Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.

Lao-Tzu

When the highest type of men hear Tao,
They diligently practice it.
When the average type of men hear Tao,
They half believe in it.
When the lowest type of men hear Tao,
They laugh heartily at it.
Without the laugh, there is no Tao.

Lao-Tzu

Not-knowing is true knowledge.
Presuming to know is a disease
First realize that you are sick;
then you can move toward health

The Master is her own physician
She has healed herself of all knowing
Thus she is truly whole

Lao Tzu

Pray for me brother.

When you accept yourself, the whole world accepts you.



Lao-Tzu

Everything will be good bro...my thoughts are with you.

"Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge."


Lao-Tzu

Thank you

Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere.


Strive for nothing and you'll attain everything!

Tao is beyond words and beyond understanding. Words may be used to speak of it, but they cannot contain it. Tao existed before words and names, before heaven and earth, before the ten thousand things. It is the unlimited father and mother of all limited things. Therefore, to see beyond boundaries to the subtle heart of things, dispense with names, with concepts, with expectations and ambitions and differences. Tao and its many manifestations arise from the same source: subtle wonder within mysterious darkness. This is the beginning of all understanding.


Lao-Tzu



(it doesnt matter who says it, maybe "jesus" echoed what he said)...in the end, it doesnt matter as long as Truth is Illuminated by a Witness. The Mystery and the Wonder.)

Break out of your thought prison.

You built it, you own it, you can de-construct it.

question it until you fold, for surely, somewhere you're wrong

and once the door opens, other doors open and light pours in

What lovely words you have quoted here. If it means anything, to anyone, anywhere..I am in for the long haul..God Willing..

Being satisfied with little, you can gain much. Seeking much you will go astray. The wise heeds this precept. If it could be so with all people!

The wise trusts not only to his physical eyes — thus he can see clearly.

The wise does not think that only he is right —thus he knows the truth.

He does not seek glory — yet people respect him.

He does not seek power — yet people follow him.

He does not struggle with anyone — thus no one can vanquish him.

He does not feel pity for himself — thus he can successfully develop.

Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.

The wise cares about everyone, and he becomes an example to all.

He does not praise himself — yet he is respectable.

He does not elevate himself — yet he is esteemed by others.

In ancient times, people said that imperfect moves to becoming perfect. Are these words vain? No! Truly, by gaining Unity you come to Perfection!

Lao Tzu

I see no harm in any of this, you have quoted. I am that way.But..I will always look for that door.I will always seek the key.I will not be satisfied until I am satisfied.That does not make me greedy. I have to claim my own. Better yet, My own need to claim ME.or not.It really is written in the stars.

Nothing is denied to no-one who wants it.

All-That-Is created us and we are All-That-Is.
Therefore, the power is at our disposal if we simply want it badly enough.

You create your own reality...that is a very tough lesson for very many people.

But flip that lesson to a positive side and the Universe is literally at your disposal. Now the people that laugh this off are the ones to avoid, because their limited thinking is common and infectious.

Really? That doesn't sound like it's from the TTC at all.

It isnt that hard with a horizon

Oah kitty euhm sure oh done.

When you accept yourself, the whole world accepts you.

Lao-Tzu


..this has been shouted from the rooftops by all the Adepts, West and East, I have connected all the dots from the last 150 years, East/West/Esoteric/Atheists(why not?)


Its pure madness...why not reduce it to tao

tao is not a religion..just a reminder to simplify.

the edifices islam and christianity are destined to fall.

Of that Im sure.

He did say also that men should not be over concerned by love as it diminished them in the eyes of men and women whereas women were made greater by it.

This was 2500 years ago. Today we have a much fuller existence, completing in months what used to take generations.

Where is Lao tsu now when we need him. Being repressed in China I should think, Falum gong.

well...lets keep him alive


he is older than jesus, yet his common sense and Heartness rings true.

All Adepts are equal in my eyes..Buddha, Whitman, Balzac, Merrill-Wolff, Teilhard de-Jardin, the Krishna Adepts are countless.

These religions are self=serving like a corporation. They don't serve anyone. The Bible is mostly fiction, interspersed with nuggets of Truth to make it digestible.

People are very, very gullible.

Thats why the human species is endangered along with the massive base thats dissappearing.

In a word..the human species is stamped for extinction.

Its a failed experiment.

True words are not beautiful,
beautiful words are not true.
Competence does not persuade,
persuasion is not competent.
The sage is not learned,
the learned man is not wise.
The Man of Calling does not heap up possessions,
The more he does for others,
the more he possesses.
The more he gives to others,
the more he has.
The DOA of Heaven is "furthering without causing harm".
The DAO of Man of Calling is to be effective without quarreling.

Lao Tzu -Tao Te Ching
