Tao is beyond words and beyond things. It is not expressed either in word or in silence. Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.

You are still guided by your expectations.
Zhuangzi
The ultimate happiness is doing nothing.
Zhuangzi
The whole world is incapable of judging either right or wrong. but it is certain that actionless action can judge both right and wrong.
Zhuangzi
The non-action of the wise man is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The sage is quiet because he is not moved, not because he wills to be quiet. . . . Joy does all things without concern. For emptiness, stillness, tranquillity, tastelessness, silence, and non-action are the root of all things.
Zhuangzi
The true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
Zhuangzi
Calculate what man knows and it cannot compare to what he doesn't know. Calculate the time he is alive and it cannot compare to the time before he was born. Yet man takes something so small and tries to exhaust the dimensions of something so large!
Zhuangzi

The love of a Sage for his fellows likewise finds expression amongst mankind. Were he not told sop, he would not know that he loved his fellows. But whether he knows it or whether he does not know it, whether he hears it or whether he does not hear it, his love for his is without end, and mankind cease not to repose therein.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.
Zhuangzi
For all people strive to grasp what they do not know, while none strive to grasp what they already know and all strive to discredit what they do not excel in, while none strive to discredit what they do excel in. This is why there is chaos.
Zhuangzi
He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature.
Zhuangzi
Everything has what is innate,everything has what is necessary.
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
A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.
Zhuangzi
Each one's destiny cannot be altered.
Zhuangzi
The men of old breathed clear down to their heels.
