Only the intelligent knows how to identify all things as one. . . . When one is at ease with himself, one is near Tao. This is to let Nature take its own course.

Men do not mirror themselves in running water - they mirror themselves in still water. Only what is still can still the stillness of other things.
Zhuangzi
The hundred parts of the body are all complete in their places. Which should one prefer? Do you like them all equally? Are they all servants? Are they unable to control one another and need a ruler? Or do they become rulers and servants in turn? Is there any true ruler other than themselves?
Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
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 you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
Zhuangzi
For we can only know that we know nothing, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Zhuangzi
