Those who know are silent.”
These words, as I am told,
Were spoken by Lao Tzu.
If we are to believe that Lao Ttzu
Was himself one who knew,
How comes it that he wrote a book
Of five thousand words?
Po Chü-i (772–846)
Translated from the Chinese by Arthur Waley

Just bought Lao Tzu's book for a friend who's going to work in China. Plus The Book of Chuang Tzu.
Sackers - I see it's available for Kindle so I'll probably buy it.
