There are no greater adversaries than yin and yang, because nothing in Heaven or on Earth escapes them. But it is not yin and yang that do this, it is your heart that makes it so.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
Understanding that rests in what it does not understand is the finest.
Zhuangzi
When you're dreaming, you don't know it's a dream. You might even interpret a dream in your dream - and then wake up and realize it was all a dream. Perhaps a great awakening will reveal this to be a dream as well.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments.
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
Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
Zhuangzi
Good fortune is as light as a feather, but nobody knows how to pick it up. Misfortune is as heavy as earth, but nobody knows how to stay out of it's way.
Zhuangzi
The eyes envy the mind.
Zhuangzi
He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature.
Zhuangzi
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.
Zhuangzi
He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.
Zhuangzi
You are still guided by your expectations.
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
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 true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
Zhuangzi
The creature born is the creature dying.
Zhuangzi
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
Zhuangzi
It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.
Zhuangzi
There is a saying that Heaven is internal, humanity external and Virtue comes from the Heavenly. Know Heaven and humanity's actions, root yourself in Heaven and follow Virture.Then you can bend, stretch, rush forward or hold back, because you will always return to the core and it will be said you have achieved the supreme.
Zhuangzi
'I shall have heaven and earth for my coffin and its shell the sun and moon for my two round symbols of jade, the stars and constellations for my pearls and jewels and all things assisting as the mourners. Will not the provisions for my funeral be complete? What could you add to them?'
Zhuangzi
