More quotes by Tao Yuanming
God can only set in motion:
He cannot control the things he has made.
I would gladly wander in Paradise,
But it is far away and there is no road.
The pure air
is cleansed of lingering lees
And mysteriously,
Heaven's realms are high.
While picking asters 'neath the Eastern fence,
My gaze upon the Southern mountain rests.

Save censure — critics are ready-made.
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
Parodies and caricatures are the most penetrating of criticisms.
