A leader is one who serves.

Lao Tzu  (604 BC - 531 BC) Chinese Taoist Philosopher

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

Quotations from Lao Tzu:

 The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

 To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

Lao Tzu , (604 BC - 531 BC) Chinese Taoist Philosopher



 A leader is one who serves.

Lao Tzu , (604 BC - 531 BC) Chinese Taoist Philosopher



 A man with outward courage dares to die. A man with inward courage dares to live.

Lao Tzu , (604 BC - 531 BC) Chinese Taoist Philosopher
Tao Te Ching 



 A leader is best when people barely know he exists,
Not so good when people obey and acclaim him.
Worse when they despise him.
Fail to honor people,
They fail to honor you.

Lao Tzu , (604 BC - 531 BC) Chinese Taoist Philosopher



 Responsibility without love makes us inconsiderate
Power without love makes us cruel
Belief without love makes us fanatics
Intelligence without love makes us dishonest.
