Daoism - Basic Beliefs
Basic text = Dao De Jing (The Classic in the Way and Its Power)
But who wrote it? Those who speak know nothing:
Those who know are silent.” These words, I am told, Were spoken by Laozi. If we are to believe that Laozi, Was himself one who knew, How is it that he wrote a book, Of five thousand words?

There is more to knowing than just being correct.
"Lot's of people talk to animals," said Pooh. "Maybe, but..."
"Not very many listen, though," he said. "That's the problem," he added.

A clever mind is not a heart."Rabbit's clever," said Pooh
