Reading Laozi

Rating: 3.0


Speak person not know know person silent
This saying I hear from old gentleman
If Way old gentleman be know person
Reason what confident five thousand characters
Those who speak do not know, those who know are silent,
I heard this saying from the old gentleman.
If the old gentleman was one who knew the way,
Why did he feel able to write five thousand words?

Those who speak do not know, those who know are silent, I heard this saying from the old gentleman. If the old gentleman was one who knew the way, Why did he feel able to write five thousand words? A very fine poem. tony
