Who said it then? Maybe we can replace it with another, real Chinese metaphor? |
|
Apparently this "quote" actually came from a Russian drama during Soviet era. The character who said this "quote" claimed it came from Confucius, and the misattribution stuck since then. |
|
What should be a proper replacement? :ponder: |
|
Unfortunately I am still looking for a proper replacement... |
|
I think the best one would still be Tao Te Ching, given on the context.

Sounds good! |
