My greatest happiness consists precisely in doing nothing whatever that is calculated to obtain happiness.
Chuang Tzu (369-286 BC) Chinese philosopher, co-founder of Taoism

Quotations by:
Chuang Tzu
Granting that you and I argue. If you get the better of me, and not I of you, are you necessarily right and I wrong? Or if I get the better of you and not you of me, am I necessarily right and you wrong? Or are we both partly right and partly wrong? Or are we both wholly right and wholly wrong? You and I cannot know this, and consequently we all live in darkness.
