Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
People value that part of knowledge which is known. They do not know how to avail themselves of the Unknown in order to reach knowledge. Is this not misguided?
Zhuangzi
Heaven cannot but be high. Earth cannot but be broad. The sun and moon cannot but revolve. All creation cannot but flourish. To do so is their TAO. But it is not from extensive study that this may be known, nor by dialectical skill that his may be made clear. The true sage will have none of these.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.
Zhuangzi
If you wish to care for your body, first of all take care of material things, though even when you have all the things you want, the body can still be uncared for
Zhuangzi
Those who follow the Tao are of clear mind. They do not load their mind with anxieties and are flexible in their adjustment to external conditions.
Zhuangzi
That knowledge which stops at what it does not know, is the highest knowledge.
Zhuangzi
The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole. . . . He blends the disparities of ten thousand years into one complete purity. All things are blended like this and mutually involve each other.
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
Big? Sure. But, he can't catch mice! So for your big tree. No use? Then plant it in the wasteland - in emptiness. Walk idly around it and rest under it's shadow. No axe or saw prepares its end. No one will ever cut it down. Useless? You should worry!.
Zhuangzi
How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten the way back?
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi
Paraphrased: When Chuang Tzu was about to die, his disciples began planning a splendid funeral. However some disciples expressed concern that given a particular arrangement, birds and kites would eat his remains. Chuang Tzu replied, Well, above ground I shall be eaten by crows and kites, below it by ants and worms. What do you have against birds
Zhuangzi
The creature born is the creature dying.
Zhuangzi
Transmit the established facts do not transmit words of exaggeration. If you do that, you will probably come out all right.
Zhuangzi
Standards are different for all things, so the standard set by man is by no means the only 'certain' standard. If you mistake what is relative for something certain, you have strayed far from the ultimate truth.
Zhuangzi
The little child learns to speak, though it has no learned teachers - because it lives with those who know how to speak.
Zhuangzi
Look at this window: it is nothing but a hole in the wall, but because of it the whole room is full of light. So when the faculties are empty, the heart is full of light.
Zhuangzi
Heaven is like an egg, and the earth is like the yolk of the egg.
