Tao Te Ching
The Power of Goodness, the Wisdom Beyond Words
“The civilization of Babylonia was not as fruitful for humanity as Egypt’s, not as varied and profound as India’s not as subtle and mature as China’s. And yet is was from Babylonia, rather than from Egypt, that the roving Greeks brought to their city-states—and from there to Rome and ourselves—the foundations of mathematics, astronomy, medicine, grammar, lexicography, archeology, history, and philosophy… the civilization of the Land between the Rivers passed down into the cultural endowment of our race.”
