We all know, and largely ignore, the wisdom of Lao Tzu.

Fitting, because that fucker is old and hopelessly out of touch with modern realities.

However, with a little bit of work — courtesy of yours truly — LT’s pithy quotes can once again become relevant.

Here’s hoping you finally go viral, buddy.

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”― Lao Tzu

And will miss all the movie previews — really the best part of a night out at the cinema — and piss off everyone in the theater by coming in late and rubbing their butt on your head as they rudely galumph to their seats towing a bathtub-sized trough of buttered popcorn and a diet coke you could drown a full-grown boar in.

PHILOSOPHY 101

“The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With a Single Step … and a Single Line at the TSA Counter.”― Lao Tzu (Never Said)
