More quotes by 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
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind.
Zhuangzi
The Way is to man as rivers and lakes are to fish, the natural condition of life.
Zhuangzi
Each one's destiny cannot be altered.
Zhuangzi
He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature.
Zhuangzi
Verily God does not reward man for what he does, but for what he is.
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
When there is no more separation between 'this' and 'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.
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
My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
Zhuangzi
Either in conflict with others or in harmony with them, we go through life like a runaway horse, unable to stop.
Zhuangzi
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
And how do I know that the hate of death is not like a man who has lost his home when young and does not know where his home is to return to?
Zhuangzi
If you have grasped the purpose of life there is no point in trying to make life into something it is not or cannot be.
Zhuangzi
Silence, and non action are the root of all things.
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
Zhuangzi
The saying goes, 'The sage rests, truly rests and is at ease.' This manifests itself in calmness and detachment, so that worries and distress cannot affect him, nothing unpleasant can disturb him, his Virtue is complete and his spirit is not stirred up.
Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
Zhuangzi
