More quotes by Zhuangzi
The fact is that those who do not see themselves but who see others, who fail to grasp of themselves but who grasp others, take possession of what others have but fail to possess themselves. they are attracted to what others enjoy but fail to find enjoyment in themselves.
Zhuangzi
The raven hatches its young the fish spew forth their eggs the slim-waisted wasp transforms, and when a younger brother comes along the elder brother weeps. For too long I have not been able to work in harmony with these changes. So, given that I did not play my part in harmony with others, how could I expect to change people?
Zhuangzi
Do not let the artificial obliterate the natural do not let will obliterate destiny do not let virtue be sacrificed to fame.
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
When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.
Zhuangzi
Who knows when the end is reached? Death may be the beginning of life. How do I know that love of life is not a delusion after all? How do I know that he who dreads to die is as a child who has lost the way and cannot find his way home? How do I know that the dead repent of having previously clung to life?
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 perfect man employs his mind as a mirror.
Zhuangzi
To have attained to the human form is a source of joy... What an incomparable bliss it is to undergo these countless transitions.
Zhuangzi
I am going to try speaking some reckless words, and I want you to try to listen recklessly.
Zhuangzi
Each one's destiny cannot be altered.
Zhuangzi
If one is true to one's inner self, and follows its wisdom, who is without a teacher?
Zhuangzi
If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.
Zhuangzi
The Tao has no place for pettiness, and nor has Virtue. Pettiness is dangerous to Virtue pettiness is dangerous to the Tao. It is said, rectify yourself and be done.
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
Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it.
Zhuangzi
All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty to the ear, or to the mind.
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
The sound of water says what I think.
