Though most scholars of Taoism agree that Lao Tzu never said this, this quote is often attributed to him. It seems like a modern Zen Buddhism interpretation to me though -- to remain in the Now and experience each moment as it comes, whether it is to live or to die.


"There is a time to live and a time to die, but never to reject the moment." - Lao Tzu
