A bandon learning and there will be no sorrow.
How much difference is there between "Yes, sir," and "Of course not"?
How much difference is there between "good" and "evil"?
What people dread, do not fail to dread.
But, alas, how confused, and the end is not yet


quote 2185  | 
Laozi 20, in Wing-Tsit Chan, Chinese Philosophy, Chapter 7. 

A Confucianist would never say "Abandon learning." Also he would sharply distinguish between good and evil. The Neo-Confucianist, Ch'eng Hao (Ch'eng Ming-tao, 1032-1085), has been severely criticized for his saying that "both good and evil in the world are both the Principle of Nature, and Wang Yang-ming was likewise widely attacked for teaching that "in the original substance of the mind there is no distinction between good and evil."




W hat I dislike in your wise men is their forced reasoning.[…] If wise men would act without any special effort [such as forced reasoning], their wisdom would also be great.


quote 2155  | 
Book of Mencius, 4B:26, in Wing-Tsit Chan, Chinese Philosophy, Chapter 3.
