ABSTRACT
Han Fei TzE tells us that Lao TzG, whose doctrines Confucius seems to be here deriding, said exactly the opposite of this ; viz. : 'The true Sage is beforehand in his attention to mundane affairs'.
i.e. 'takes time by the forelock'. Neither utterance, however, appears in the Tao-Ti?-Ching. See T h e Remains of Lao Tzii, p. 44.
