Lao Ma quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Lao Ma

Nothing is as soft as water. Yet, who can withstand the raging flood?

Lao Ma

To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the way.

Lao Ma

The entire world is driven by a will, blind and ruthless. In order to transcend the limitations of that world, you need to stop willing, stop desiring, stop hating.

Lao Ma

Heaven endures and the Earth lasts a long time because they do not live for themselves. Therefore she who would live a long time should live for others, serve others.

Xena

"Knowing the way is like being a child."

K'ao Hsin

"Laughing and crying all day without being hoarse."

"Small people hate loneliness. But the master makes it her home." "Her source. Her mother. For she knows it allows her to be one with the universe."

K'ao Hsin

"The master knows no expectation. Therefore, no disappointment."

Xena

"And thus, she stays young forever."

Lao Ma

"To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the way."
