More quotes by Zhuangzi
If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.
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.
Zhuangzi
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
Although things seem to be sometimes going up and sometimes descending, sometimes slipping away, nevertheless there is a reality, the same today as in the past. It does not change, for nothing can affect it. Could we not say it is one great harmony? So why shouldn't we ask about it.
Zhuangzi
In an archery contest, when the stakes are earthenware tiles a contestant shoots with skill. When the stakes are belt buckles he becomes hesitant, and if the stakes are pure gold he becomes nervous and confused. There is no difference as to his skil.

Zhuangzi
When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed.
Zhuangzi
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
Verily God does not reward man for what he does, but for what he is.
Zhuangzi
He who knows he is a fool is not the biggest fool He who knows he is confused is not in the worst confusion.
Zhuangzi
Fish live in water. Men die in it.Nature is diverse, and not all tastes are the same.
Zhuangzi
All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
The ultimate happiness is doing nothing.
