Lao-tzu

This man was called Lao-tse, a recluse and philosopher, who was already an old man when Confucius began his travels.

But the effect of this relation is fatal to its identification with the non-resistance doctrine of Buddha and Lao-tse.

Their pacifism differs from that of Lao-tse and of Buddha in the important respect of having a pronounced theistic basis.

Lao-Tse, we assert, is the ideal author to read while the barber is at his business.
