Enough !!

I came across this far too intriguing statement...

He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

Lao-Tzu
(BC 600-?, Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism)

I am still trying to understand it. Can anybody help?

its very nice to see the simple explanation you have put in. Can you be more elaborate about the whole concept of enough itself as is seen in Taoism. I have understood from one site which says it was one of the ancient indian sages that had travelled to china and has transmigrated into a body of chinese origin and then preached about the Taoism as is known.... do you have some information about that too ? Bo Yang was how this person was called in China i think. And it was Bhoganath in India....

If you know when you stop (in materialism, in your professional and your personal life), you will never be unhappy.
