Wise Words from Lao Tzu – Tao Te Ching

“Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for?  Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on you own self-awareness.  If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.  If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.  Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.  

“He who stand on tiptoe
does not stand firm.
He who rushes ahead
does not go far.
He who tries to shine
dims his own light.
He who defines himself
can not know who he really is.
He who has power over others
can not empower himself.
He who clings to his work
will create nothing that endures.

If you want to accord with the Tao,
just do your job…then LET go.”

“The person of superior integrity does not insist upon his integrity,
For this reason, he has integrity.
The person of inferior integrity never loses sight of his integrity,
For this reason, he lacks integrity."
