Is Confucius better than Lao Tzu?

Answer 1

Lao Tzu to Confucius:


"The men about whom you talk are dead, and their bones are mouldered to dust; only their words are left. Moreover, when the superior man gets his opportunity, he mounts aloft; but when the time is against him, he is carried along by the force of circumstances. I have heard that a good merchant, though he have rich treasures safely stored, appears as if he were poor; and that the superior man, though his virtue be complete, is yet to outward seeming STUPID. Put away your proud air and many desires, your insinuating habit and wild will. They are of no advantage to you; this is all I have to tell you."


Confucius talking about Lao Tzu:


"I know how birds can fly, fishes swim, and animals run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer hooked, and the flyer shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon: I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tzu, and can only compare him to the dragon."


Lao Tzu > Confucius
