More quotes by Zhuangzi
Words exist because of meaning once you’ve gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
That knowledge which stops at what it does not know, is the highest knowledge.
Zhuangzi
Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly...
Zhuangzi
Never admire a man by his strength judge him in how he uses it- A way is made by walking it
Zhuangzi
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
Zhuangzi
If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
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
Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone
Zhuangzi
Only fools imagine they are already awake. How clearly they understand everything! How easily they distinguish this deception from that reality!
Zhuangzi
The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.
Zhuangzi
The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.
Zhuangzi
Are you and I perchance caught up in a dream from which we have not yet awakened?
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not a beginning death is not an end. There is existence without limitation there is continuity without a starting point.
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
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words, so I can have a few words with him?
Zhuangzi
For we can only know that we know nothing, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
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
Men of this world all rejoice in others being like themselves, and object to others not being like themselves.
Zhuangzi
