"The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own." - Lao Tzu
Explanation: Lao Tzu emphasizes the principle of generosity and the interconnectedness of all beings. Taoism teaches that by giving selflessly to others, we enhance our own well-being and abundance. This quote reminds us that true wealth lies in the act of sharing and nurturing compassion for others.
