Was Lao Tzu (5th Cent. BCE) a member of AA?
Consider, among other sayings:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (AA: "One day at a time....")
"By seeking to do many things, nothing gets done. By doing little, everything gets done." (AA: "One Step at a Time")
"Small things should not be worried about. And greater things should not be worried about if one cannot change them..." (AA Don't worry about the small things or the big things which you can't change...")
"Go with the Flow (Tao)" (AA: "Easy Does It!" "Turn it Over")
For lots more Tao quotes Google <Tao Tse Ching> or <Lao Tzu>
