Zhuangzi
He who does his work like a machine grows a heart like a machine and he who carries the heart of a machine in his breast loses his simplicity. He who has lost his simplicity becomes unsure in the strivings of his soul.
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
You are still guided by your expectations.
Zhuangzi
Perfect happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
The true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
