15. similar to a quote from Lao Tzu

Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 12:52 PM by G_j

from the 'Tao Te Ching"

on edit: here is a similar quote from Lao Tzu (who Campbell was a big fan of):
http://teachanimalobjectivity.homestead.com/files/ttc57.htm

FIFTY-SIX
Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.
Keep your mouth closed.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the earth.
This is primal union.

He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies,
With good and harm, with honor and disgrace.

This therefore is the highest state of man.
