Laozi Quotes, Life Quotes, Thinking Quotes

She who is centered in the Tao can go where she wishes, without danger. She perceives the universal harmony, even amid great pain, because she has found peace in her heart.

When you listen for it, there is nothing to hear. When you use it, it is inexhaustible.
