The knowledge of the ancients reached the highest point-the time before anything existed. This is the highest point. It is exhaustive. There is no adding to it.

More quotes by Zhuangzi
To examine oneself makes good use of sight.
Zhuangzi
The true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
Zhuangzi
To have a human form is a joyful thing.
Zhuangzi
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
Tao is beyond words and beyond things. It is not expressed either in word or in silence. Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.
Zhuangzi
Human life is limited, but knowledge is limitless. To drive the limited in pursuit of the limitless is fatal and to presume that one really knows is fatal indeed!
Zhuangzi
Birth is not a beginning death is not an end. There is existence without limitation there is continuity without a starting point.
Zhuangzi
The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.
Zhuangzi
Your preciousness lies in your essence it cannot be lost by anything that happens.
Zhuangzi
Breathing control gives man strength, vitality, inspiration, and magic powers.
Zhuangzi
Either in conflict with others or in harmony with them, we go through life like a runaway horse, unable to stop.
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
Study is to study what cannot be studied. Undertaking means undertaking what cannot be undertaken. Philosophizing is to philosophize about what cannot be philosophized about. Knowing that knowing is unknowable is true perfection.
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
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
Why don’t you try wandering with me to the Palace of Not-Even-Anything
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
A petty thief is put in jail. A great brigand becomes a ruler of a Nation.
