The Tao Te Ching on Knowing

“The ancient masters didn’t try to educate the people, but kindly taught them to not know. When they think that they know the answers, they are difficult to guide. When they know that they don’t know, people can find their own way.”

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease.
First realize that you are sick; then you can move toward health.”

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Those who know, don’t talk. Those who talk, don’t know.”

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
