Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
To go outside what your charge was, and to try to solve everything yourself, is dangerous.

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

Zhuangzi
There is danger for the eye in seeing too clearly, danger for the ear in hearing too sharply and danger to the heart from caring too greatly.
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
Zhuangzi
The raven hatches its young the fish spew forth their eggs the slim-waisted wasp transforms, and when a younger brother comes along the elder brother weeps. For too long I have not been able to work in harmony with these changes. So, given that I did not play my part in harmony with others, how could I expect to change people?
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge is universal. Small knowledge is limited. Great words are inspiring small words are chatter.
Zhuangzi
Never admire a man by his strength judge him in how he uses it- A way is made by walking it
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
Zhuangzi
One whose inner being is fixed upon such greatness emits a Heavenly glow. Even though he has this Heavenly glow, others will see him as just a man. Someone who has reached this point will begin to be consistent.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
The Tao is in all things, in their divisions and their fullness. What I dislike about divisions is that they multiply, and what i dislike about multiplication is that it makes people want to hold fast to it. So people go out and forget to return, seeing little more than ghosts.
Zhuangzi
The World is Large - Its beauty indescrible.
