More quotes by Zhuangzi
Everything has what is innate,everything has what is necessary.
Zhuangzi
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.
Zhuangzi
If you have grasped the purpose of life there is no point in trying to make life into something it is not or cannot be.
Zhuangzi
When there is no more separation between 'this' and 'that,' it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.
Zhuangzi
The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
Zhuangzi
The eye is a menace to clear sight, the ear is a menace to subtle hearing, the mind is a menace to wisdom, every organ of the senses is a menace to its own capacity.
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Heaven cannot but be high. Earth cannot but be broad. The sun and moon cannot but revolve. All creation cannot but flourish. To do so is their TAO. But it is not from extensive study that this may be known, nor by dialectical skill that his may be made clear. The true sage will have none of these.
Zhuangzi
Am I a human dreaming I am a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming I am a human?
Zhuangzi
Being is thoughtless-beyond and beneath all categories of thought. Expression is the realization of creative thought. Being is still expression, moving. But then if I do not strive, who will?
Zhuangzi
The creature born is the creature dying.
Zhuangzi
Are you and I perchance caught up in a dream from which we have not yet awakened?
Zhuangzi
The little child learns to speak, though it has no learned teachers - because it lives with those who know how to speak.
Zhuangzi
The whole world is incapable of judging either right or wrong. but it is certain that actionless action can judge both right and wrong.
Zhuangzi
And how do I know that the hate of death is not like a man who has lost his home when young and does not know where his home is to return to?
Zhuangzi
Those who realise their folly are not true fools.
Zhuangzi
Great understanding is broad and unhurried little understanding is cramped and busy
