More quotes by Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
A path is made by walking on it.
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in simplicity, blend your spirit with the vastness, follow along with things the way they are, and make no room for personal views-then the world will be governed.
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

Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
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
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
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
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
The perfect man of old looked after himself first before looking to help others.
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
