I've read the Tao Te Ching but not Bushido: Way of the Samurai. Both quotes are very inspirational. There is so much knowledge in the east.
I'm reminded of a quote I can't properly remember or attribute, It goes roughly "The east is like a legless man and the west is like a blind man. The east therefore should ride on the shoulders of the west, because while the west can at least walk, it lacks the sight to know the way."

I'm sure I butchered that. lol

Great post.
Keep Steeming!
