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.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
The tao is made because we walk it,things become what they are called.
Zhuangzi
True depth of understanding is wide and steady, Shallow understanding is lazy and wandering, Words of wisdom are precise and clear
Zhuangzi
Make your will one! Don't listen with your ears, listen with your mind. No, don't listen with your mind, but listen with your spirit. Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty- and waits on all things. The Way gathers in emptiness alone. Emptiness is the fasting of the mind.
Zhuangzi
When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.
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
Right is not right so is not so. If right were really right it would differ so clearly from not right that there would be no need for argument. If so were really so, it would differ so clearly from not so that there would be no need for argument.
Zhuangzi
There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning ... There is something. There is nothing.
Zhuangzi
A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.
Zhuangzi
The torch of doubt and chaos, this is what the sage steers by.
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.

Zhuangzi
Your mind must become one, do not try to understand with your ears but with your heart. Indeed, not with your heart but with your soul.
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi
Am I a human dreaming I am a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming I am a human?
Zhuangzi
Once I dreamed I was a butterfly, and now I no longer know whether I am Chuang Tzu, who dreamed I was a butterfly, or whether I am a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
To be constant is to be useful. To be useful is to realize one's true nature. Realization of one's true nature is happiness. When one reaches happiness, one is close to perfection.
Zhuangzi
When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments.
Zhuangzi
Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone
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
