More quotes by Zhuangzi
Do not seek fame. Do not make plans. Do not be absorbed by activities. Do not think that you know. Be aware of all that is and dwell in the infinite. Wander where there is no path. Be all that heaven gave you, but act as though you have received nothing. Be empty, that is all.
Zhuangzi
Do not struggle. Go with the flow of things, and you will find yourself at one with the mysterious unity of the Universe.
Zhuangzi
Those who realise their folly are not true fools.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.
Zhuangzi
The little child learns to speak, though it has no learned teachers - because it lives with those who know how to speak.
Zhuangzi
When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten.
Zhuangzi
Man may rest in the eternal fitness he may abide in the everlasting and roam from the beginning to the end of all creation. He may bring his nature to a condition of ONE, he may nourish his strength he may harmonise his virtue, and so put himself into partnership with God.
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
Men of this world all rejoice in others being like themselves, and object to others not being like themselves.
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
When people do not ignore what they should ignore, but ignore what they should not ignore, this is known as ignorance.
Zhuangzi
Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman – how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle.
Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
When an archer shoots for enjoyment, he has all his skill when he shoots for a brass buckle, he gets nervous when he shoots for a prize of gold, he begins to see two targets.
Zhuangzi
When I talk about having good hearing, I don't mean just listening, but listening to yourself. When I talk about good eyesight, I don't mean just looking, but looking at yourself.
Zhuangzi
Luck implies an absolute absence of any principle.
Zhuangzi
To regard the fundamental as the essence, to regard things as coarse, to regard accumulation as deficiency, and to dwell quietly alone with the spiritual and the intelligent - herein lie the techniques of Tao of the ancients.
Zhuangzi
To go outside what your charge was, and to try to solve everything yourself, is dangerous.
Zhuangzi
All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten. The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.
