More quotes by Zhuangzi
By ethical argument and moral principle the greatest crimes are eventually shown to have been necessary, and, in fact, a signal benefit to mankind.
Zhuangzi
The creature born is the creature dying.
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
When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
The men of old breathed clear down to their heels.
Zhuangzi
If there is existence, there must be non-existence. And if there was a time when nothing existed, there must have been a time before that - when even nothing did not exist. Suddenly, when nothing came into existence, could one really say whether it belonged to the category of existence or non-existence?
Zhuangzi
If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.
Zhuangzi
All the fish needs is to get lost in the water. All man needs is to get lost in Tao.
Zhuangzi
I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.
Zhuangzi
If one is true to one's inner self, and follows its wisdom, who is without a teacher?
Zhuangzi
The Tao has no place for pettiness, and nor has Virtue. Pettiness is dangerous to Virtue pettiness is dangerous to the Tao. It is said, rectify yourself and be done.
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
