More quotations from Chuang Tzu Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. —Chuang Tzu More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email A drunken man who falls out of a cart, though he may suffer, does not die. His bones are the same as other people's; but he meets his accident in a different way. His spirit is in a condition of security. He is not conscious of riding in the cart; neither is he conscious of falling out of it. Ideas of life, death, fear and the like cannot penetrate his breast; and so he does not suffer from contact with objective existence. If such security is to be got from wine, how much more is it to be got from God? —Chuang Tzu More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Great wisdom is generous; petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous. —Chuang Tzu More about this quote Tags: speech Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither. . . .
