The sage roams freely in the realm in which nothing can escape and all endures. Those who regard dying a premature death, getting old, and the beginning and the end of life as equally good are followed by others. How much more is that to which all things belong and on which the whole process of transformation depends (that is, Tao)?
Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu), as quoted in A source Book in Chinese Philosophy (1969) by Wing-tsit Chan, p. 194
