Last post I said I'd include Bai JuYi's poem and forgot about it. So rather than scrolling all the way down again I thought I'd put the translation I have into a post that would come up on top.
On Laozi
"The ignorant speak, but the sage stays silent."
I heard this saying from Laozi.
But if Laozi knew the Way,
Why did he write a book of five thousand characters?
If you're not familiar with the name Laozi or Taoism, Laozi is the one who is said to have written the Tao te ching though I think this poem gets its point across pretty efficiently.
