Hero #078: Lao Tsu … (03/17/16)
A possible contemporary of Confucius, Lao Tsu was a legendary philosopher and poet of ancient China. He is best known as the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, the founder of Taoism, and a master of Peace & peaceful living. Throughout history, his reputation and writings have been embraced by various anti-authoritarian, pro-freedom movements.
“Do not use force against the World, for that which is forced is likely to return … Where armies settle, Nature offers nothing but briers & thorns. Things that gain a place by force will only flourish briefly and then fade away … If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away … Requite his injury with your Kindness. Do not cast him away. Cast away his wickedness.” ~ (Tao Te Ching 30:1-3+ & 62:6-12)
