از کتاب چوانگ تسه فصل ۱۷ آبهای بلند پایییز -‏ قسمت ۱ از ۲

"There is no end to the weighing of things, no stop to time, no constancy to the division of lots, no fixed rule to beginning and end. Therefore great wisdom observes both far and near, and for that reason recognizes small without considering it paltry, recognizes large without considering it unwieldy, for it knows that there is no end to the weighing of things.
