More quotes by Zhuangzi
The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
The raven hatches its young the fish spew forth their eggs the slim-waisted wasp transforms, and when a younger brother comes along the elder brother weeps. For too long I have not been able to work in harmony with these changes. So, given that I did not play my part in harmony with others, how could I expect to change people?
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten. The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.
Zhuangzi
The ultimate happiness is doing nothing.
Zhuangzi
Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it.
Zhuangzi
The baby looks at things all day without winking that is because his eyes are not focused on any particular object. He goes without knowing where he is going, and stops without knowing what he is doing. He merges himself within the surroundings and moves along with it. These are the principles of mental hygiene.
Zhuangzi
All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
The sound of water says what I think.
Zhuangzi
Do not let the artificial obliterate the natural do not let will obliterate destiny do not let virtue be sacrificed to fame.
Zhuangzi
Never admire a man by his strength judge him in how he uses it- A way is made by walking it
Zhuangzi
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.
Zhuangzi
All men know the utility of useful things but they do not know the utility of futility.
Zhuangzi
We possess our body by chance and we are already pleased with it. If our physical bodies went through ten thousand transformations without end, how incomparable would this joy be! Therefore the sage roams freely in the realm in which nothing can escape, but all endures.
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
Zhuangzi
When an archer shoots for enjoyment, he has all his skill when he shoots for a brass buckle, he gets nervous when he shoots for a prize of gold, he begins to see two targets.
Zhuangzi
Heaven is like an egg, and the earth is like the yolk of the egg.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
If one is true to one's inner self, and follows its wisdom, who is without a teacher?
Zhuangzi
