More quotes by Zhuangzi
There is danger for the eye in seeing too clearly, danger for the ear in hearing too sharply and danger to the heart from caring too greatly.
Zhuangzi
Good fortune is as light as a feather, but nobody knows how to pick it up. Misfortune is as heavy as earth, but nobody knows how to stay out of it's way.
Zhuangzi
He who knows he is a fool is not the biggest fool He who knows he is confused is not in the worst confusion.
Zhuangzi
Can a man cling to the positive without any negative in contrast to which it is seen to be positive? If he claims to do so he is a rouge or a madman.
Zhuangzi
If there is existence, there must be non-existence. And if there was a time when nothing existed, there must have been a time before that - when even nothing did not exist. Suddenly, when nothing came into existence, could one really say whether it belonged to the category of existence or non-existence?
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Either in conflict with others or in harmony with them, we go through life like a runaway horse, unable to stop.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
Zhuangzi
The Tao is in all things, in their divisions and their fullness. What I dislike about divisions is that they multiply, and what i dislike about multiplication is that it makes people want to hold fast to it. So people go out and forget to return, seeing little more than ghosts.
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi
A petty thief is put in jail. A great brigand becomes a ruler of a Nation.
Zhuangzi
Heaven is like an egg, and the earth is like the yolk of the egg.
Zhuangzi
Now, when ordinary people attempt to find happiness, I am not sure whether the happiness is really happiness or not. I study what ordinary people do to find happiness, what they struggle for, rushing about apparently unable to stop.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not a beginning death is not an end. There is existence without limitation there is continuity without a starting point.
Zhuangzi
The knowledge of the ancients reached the highest point-the time before anything existed. This is the highest point. It is exhaustive. There is no adding to it.
Zhuangzi
Human life is limited, but knowledge is limitless. To drive the limited in pursuit of the limitless is fatal and to presume that one really knows is fatal indeed!
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
The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
Zhuangzi
When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten. When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten. When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten. No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: Then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
