If dinner ain't ready I'm going to raise hell; and if it is ready I ain't going to eat a bite." The Chinese have put "Tipperary" into their own language, and native newspapers print the chorus as follows: Shih ko yuan lu tao Ti-po-lieh-li, Pi yao ti jih hsing tsou.
The distinctive merit of our civilization, I should say, is the scientific method; the distinctive merit of the Chinese is a just conception of the ends of life. It is these two that one must hope to see gradually uniting. Lao-Tze describes the operation of Tao as "production without possession, action without self-assertion, development without domination."
Taoists ascribe the foundation of their religion to the Yellow Emperor, twenty-eight centuries B. C.; but there never was time Tao was not; nor, I suppose, when there was quite no knowledge of it, even in China.
The stinging slash of the whip and his dread of it were gone. Standing there in the starlight with his magnificent head thrown up and the muscles of his huge body like corded steel, the passing spirit of Shan Tung would have taken him for Tao, the Great Dane. He was not excited and yet he was filled with a mighty desire more than that, a tremendous purpose.
Tao was the biggest dog ever seen about the Height of Land, the most powerful, and at times the most terrible. Of two things Shan Tung was enormously proud in his silent and mysterious oriental way of Tao, the dog, and of his long, shining cue which fell to the crook of his knees when he let it down.
I wanted to remember them, although they conveyed very little to me, because I realized all this I was seeing might prove of immense help to the authorities when I got back to Billings. Night came, and I was still at work. Tao seemed tremendously pleased at what I was doing, and I noticed with satisfaction that his attitude toward me seemed gradually changing.
Into this position, as into all others impartially, the One Life which is Tao flows, adapting itself through aeons to the relations which that point bears to the Whole: and the result and the process of this adaptation is your individuality or mine. You are not the point, the position: because it is merely that which you hold and through which you function; it is yours, but not you.
"Yet for what purpose should one who would pass as a pacific student seek to encounter dragons?" "For a sufficient private reason it is necessary that I should kill a certain number," replied Chang Tao freely. "Thus their absence involves me in much ill-spared delay."
The men would find their way back all right At the sudden thought that came to him Mercer dropped his bit of bread and sat up in astonishment. Tao no longer a menace? He remembered my reasoning in the boat coming down the bayou. Of course, Tao would have no reason to attack the Light Country by force of arms until he was sure his propaganda among the people had failed.
"The weight of either side produces an atmosphere of absolute poise that cannot fail to give full play to the decision of the destinies." "But if this attitude is maintained on your part how can the proposal progress to a definite issue?" inquired Chang Tao. "So far, it never has so progressed," admitted Shen Yi.
