A Quote by Lao Tzu on desires, freedom, ideas, learning, losing, men, and sage

...The sage seeks freedom from desire. He does not collect precious things. He learns not to hold on to ideas. He brings men back to what they have lost.

Lao Tzu : Chinese philosopher & mystic, founder of Taoism
Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)
