"Whoever is capable of knowing when they..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“All things in nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfill their function and make no claim. All things alike do their work, and then we see them subside. When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.”

“When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster.”

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

“I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.”

“But if anything in thy own dispositiongives thee pain, who hinders thee from correcting thy opinion? And even if thou art pained because thou art not doing some particular thing which seems to thee to be right, why dost thou not rather act than complain?- But some insuperable obstacle is in the way?- Do not be grieved then, for the cause of its not being done depends not on thee.- But it is not worth while to live if this cannot be done.- Take thy departure then from life contentedly, just as he dies who is in full activity, and well pleased too with the things which are obstacles.”

“Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.”

“Everything I need now is here”

“As soon as rules were made, names were given. There are already many names. One must know when it is enough.”

“He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.”
