I'll take Lao Tzu over Confucius any day.

  I'll take Bruce Lee over Lao Tzu and Confucius any day.

  Amen to that. Lao Tzu is spiritual and gentle. Confucius sounds like an apologist for imperial servitude, giving a generous dose of quotidian platitudes. All this insistence on proper appearance, filial piety, and behaviour is an appalling appeal to conform. I never found anything subversive or insightful or spiritual in Confucius, but I do appreciate his sense of humour.

    > I never found anything subversive ... in Confucius What do you mean? Did you expect him to tell you to fight the power?
