Taoist Thoughts

“We explain actions we are yet unable to predict as "chance".”

“A government's only actions should be for the benefit of the people, otherwise leave them alone.”

“Do not look to anyone else for change. It starts with you. It belongs to you. It exists in your actions or dies in your neglect.”

“If someone tells you an action will not work, try and see. Since not trying will definitely not work.”

“Claiming predisposition cannot absolve us of personal responsibility for our actions. Not to others. Not to ourselves.”

“@ChangeableMe The individual you is everything that begins with you. :) Ideas, emotions, actions. How you treat yourself and others.”

“It's known that every action has a reaction. Yet the choice to take no action can be reacted to. Willful inaction is itself an action.”

“The actions you don't take are just as important as the actions you do.”

“All moving things eventually come to rest. Action and inaction are part of the same cycle.”

“Be simple in action, compassionate to all life and always stay humble. This is the way of Tao.”

“A great leader doesn't need rules to manage people but instead inspires others to action.”

“@lettermenger Perhaps the line is called "choice". Your heartbeat doesn't require a choice , a conscious action does. What do you think?”

“@lettermenger Making your heart beat is not what I meant by "doing". I mean to imply taking a conscious action. :)”

“If someone strikes you, striking back is rarely the best choice of action. Defend, block, refute, diffuse. Stay the same.”

“When you are certain that a problem requires action, consider if it was action that first caused the problem.”

“Be good to the good. To those who aren't, be good to them also. Your actions don't depend on whether or not someone else is good.”

“Categorize me by my words, my actions, my ideas, my dreams but not by where my birth certificate is filed.”

“Include compassion in all your decisions, in every action, and even if you do not succeed, you will not fail.”

“@divinitywaters In human society there's law governing conduct, good and evil actions. These are not defined by Tao, but by people.”

“Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Nature demands balance.”
