More quotes by Zhuangzi
There is danger for the eye in seeing too clearly, danger for the ear in hearing too sharply and danger to the heart from caring too greatly.
Zhuangzi
Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
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
Great wisdom is generous petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
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
Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is. Do this and your understanding will be like not understanding and your wisdom will be like not being wise. By not being wise you will become wise later.
Zhuangzi
The World is Large - Its beauty indescrible.
Zhuangzi
Who knows when the end is reached? Death may be the beginning of life. How do I know that love of life is not a delusion after all? How do I know that he who dreads to die is as a child who has lost the way and cannot find his way home? How do I know that the dead repent of having previously clung to life?
Zhuangzi
Are you and I perchance caught up in a dream from which we have not yet awakened?
Zhuangzi
Can a man cling to the positive without any negative in contrast to which it is seen to be positive? If he claims to do so he is a rouge or a madman.
Zhuangzi
Your preciousness lies in your essence it cannot be lost by anything that happens.
Zhuangzi
The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
The saying goes, 'The sage rests, truly rests and is at ease.' This manifests itself in calmness and detachment, so that worries and distress cannot affect him, nothing unpleasant can disturb him, his Virtue is complete and his spirit is not stirred up.
Zhuangzi
The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole. . . . He blends the disparities of ten thousand years into one complete purity. All things are blended like this and mutually involve each other.
Zhuangzi
To have a human form is a joyful thing.
Zhuangzi
The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty to the ear, or to the mind.
Zhuangzi
He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.
Zhuangzi
For we can only know that we know nothing, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Zhuangzi
All men know the utility of useful things but they do not know the utility of futility.
Zhuangzi
The eyes envy the mind.
