Lao Tzu Quotes

Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else.

Right now I am trying to be in a place of calm, a place where I can chill out and then handle the chaos of life better. You don't just get it overnight; you have to work at it. It's a daily struggle.

I like to keep a calm set.

The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything.

The ultimate test's always your own serenity. If you don't have this when you start and maintain it while you're working you're likely to build your personal problems right into the machine itself.

All I want is to have my peace of mind...

For my mind, I try to reduce stress by finding quiet time and meditating.

I don't get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there's no sense in getting upset. And I don't get upset over things I can't control, because if I can't control them there's no sense in getting upset.

I am genuinely a peaceful person now.

Life must always go on and Yoga is not about an escape from life. Yoga's about a way of dealing with life more effectively; to be able to involve oneself with one's family, one's friends, one's social commitments, one's job and yet at the same time maintain one's centre.

Chill out, relax and have an open mind.

Cautiously, I allowed myself to feel good at times. I found moments of peace in cheap rooms just staring at the knobs of some dresser or listening to the rain in the dark. The less I needed the better I felt.

Work. Don't Think. Relax.

It is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.

Float through life, just take it easy, not too much stress, just, float.

You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too.

Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.

Ain't no sense worryin' about the things you got control over, 'cause if you got control over 'em, ain't no sense worryin'. And ain't no sense worryin' about the things you don't got control over, 'cause if you don't got control over 'em, ain't no sense worryin'.

Happiness is the art of relaxation.

He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.

You can't take a crash course in serenity.

Go slowly, breathe and smile.

...The sage, traveling all day, Does not lose sight of his baggage. Though there are beautiful things to be seen, He remains unattached and calm.

All you gotta do is chill out... Let go of control and chill out... Let it be, Trust.

Don't worry about what you can't control.
