About This Quote

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. This quote from the Book of Dao by Lao Tzu is about using your strengths when it comes to personal interactions with other people. When you realize that you have the upper hand in a situation, it can be better to appear weak than to appear strong. It’s better to let them think you’re weak than to raise your voice and appear powerful. When you feel like your strength is being questioned, shrugging it off will often give the person the impression that you’re not even bothered by what they say.
