Specialization is for insects. -R.A.H. This is exactly the quote I was going to quote! Love it!! Another Heinlien (sp?) - "There is only one way to console a widow - but beware."

"Intelligent people know others. Enlightened people know themselves." The Tao Te Ching

ChatteParfaitt -> RE: History's Greatest Quotes (7/10/2012 10:31:39 AM)
Oh I love the Tao te Ching, I have a pocket copy that travels with me. Here's a fav: Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

Wasn't there a book written called "The Tao of Pooh"? I'm not talking about meditating in scat either.

GreedyTop -> RE: History's Greatest Quotes (7/10/2012 10:58:43 AM)
somewhere , I do have a copy of Tao of Pooh. edited because I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THE TOUCHPAD!!!!

Moonhead -> RE: History's Greatest Quotes (7/10/2012 11:07:11 AM)
It's a good read: what Taoist couldn't love a bear of little brain? And if we're quoting from Milne, the last line of The House At Pooh Corner is one of the most beautiful in all of children's literature: "And so as winter changes into spring, which changes into summer, there are things which go on forever unchanging. Such as the way a certain boy cares for a certain bear. And we will know, for as long as we care to remember that somewhere in that enchanted place on top the forest, a boy and his bear will always be playing."

GreedyTop -> RE: History's Greatest Quotes (7/10/2012 11:09:15 AM)
Pooh quotes always rock :)
