That is so true. Often, people either grow or shrink to meet our expectations of them.

Some Lao Tzu favorites:

The words of truth are always paradoxical.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.

The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.

When something has happened,
Do not talk about it.
it is hard to collect spilled water.

(Proverb)

Intelligence simply means ability to respond,
because life is a flux.
You have to be aware and to see what is demanded of you,
what is the challenge of the situation.
The intelligent person behaves according to the situation
and the stupid according to ready-made answers.

(Osho)

There is seldom any rational reason for having regrets about past deeds or events.
Because the past does not exist in any way other than in your memory.

(Paul Wilson)

One of the keys to silent power is to control your need to talk.
Make it a discipline not to discuss your personal details with others.
Develop mystery, silence and secrecy in your life.
Don’t allow people to know your deep, innermost self.

(Stuart Wilde) I really liked this one. He's great.

Observe what is with undivided attention.

(Bruce Lee)

Don’t give yourself away.
Work quietly on your weaknesses,
develop a reserve and mystery,
be organised and self-sufficient,
and keep your life to yourself.

Consume less, stay in control,
be at one with your inner self and nature.
Purifying your life, constantly skimming, cleaning,
throwing things out, simplifying.

(Stuart Wilde)

The root of ignorance itself is our mind’s habitual tendency to distraction.

(Sogyal Rinpoche)

Eating – simply eat, be with it.
Walking – simply walk, be there.
Don’t go ahead, don’t jump here and there.
Mind always goes ahead or lags behind.
Remain with the moment.

(Osho)
