Often-times, grass was more useful than gold. Man was more desirable than a beast. Chance was more seductive than knowledge, and eternal life was completely meaningless without love.

About This Quote

Often-times, grass was more useful than gold. Man was more desirable than a beast. Chance was more seductive than knowledge, and eternal life was completely meaningless without love. This is one of the most famous quotes on life by Lao Tzu. He basically says that things are more important than money; that knowledge does not equal success; that love is the key to happiness; and that you should never give up hope no matter how bad things seem to be.
