To: taoism-studies-l@coombs.anu.edu.au From: tyagi nagasiva Subject: Quoting: Laotse: Lin Yutang transl Date: 49940727 'True words are not fine-sounding; Fine-sounding words are not true. A good man does not argue; He who argues is not a good man. The wise one does not know many things; He who knows many things is not wise. ... 'The Tao of Heaven Blesses, but does not harm. The Way of the Sage Accomplishes, but does not contend.' _The Wisdom of Laotse_, 81. The Way of Heaven, by Laotse, transl. Lin Yutang ______________________________________________ 'Banish wisdom, discard knowledge, And the people shall profit a hundredfold; Banish 'humanity,' discard 'justice,' And the people shall recover love of their kin....' Ibid, 19. Realize the Simple Self, by Laotse, transl. Lin Yutang __________________________________ 'A man's work, however finished it seem, Continues as long as he live; A man, however perfect he seem, Is needed as long as he live: As long as truth appears falsity, The seer is a fool. The prophet is a dumb lout. If you want to keep warm keep stirring about. Keep still if you want to keep cool, And in all the world one day no doubt Your way shall be the rule.' _The Way of Life_, 45, Lao Tzu, transl. Witter Bynner EOF
