I don't usually post quotes, but what the hell. Here are some I love.
From the Dude De Ching:

In this way, the Dude:
Makes his point at the end and finds he made it at the beginning;
Rolls casually down the lane, and endures through strikes and gutters.
Because he does not put himself over the line, he does not enter a world of pain.

Based on this passage of the Tao Te Ching:
Quote:
Originally Posted by 7. Self
Nature is everlasting because it does not have a Self.
In this way the sage:
Serves his Self last and finds it served first;
Sees his body as accidental and finds it endures.
Because he does not serve his Self, he is content.

Another one I like:

Then political advocacy and pornography are joined,
And standards fall regrettably.
When you can’t keep ‘em down on the farm,
Then carjacking and Karl Hungus appear;
When the goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain,
Fucking fascists will take over the beach communities.

Duty and justice arise;
Then wisdom and sagacity are born
Along with hypocrisy.
When family relationships dissolve
Then respect and devotion arise;
When a nation falls to chaos
Then loyalty and patriotism are born.
