I would gladly wander in Paradise,
But it is far away and there is no road.

More quotes by Tao Yuanming
God can only set in motion:
He cannot control the things he has made.
I beg you listen to this advice —
When you get wine, be sure to drink it.
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.
