Yes, and he wrote them very quickly and beautifully. It is much harder than patting your head with one hand and rubbing your stomach with the other, and certainly much harder than walking while you are chewing gum at the same time. He whipped out a number of papers and sold them to the rich old people in our tour group. We poor starving students only took pictures of the finished product.
If you like Confucius quotes and have iGoogle as your home page you can get a different quote every day on an iGoogle gadget. I think they're fun, and some of them make a lot of sense.

My name is Teresa Zimmerman-Liu. I was born and raised in a typical white family in the good old US of A. I love studying languages, and after graduating from Georgetown University I went to Taiwan to learn Chinese. There I married into a traditional Chinese family. From 1983 to 2013, I was a Chinese-English translator, ESL teacher, and facilitator of cross-cultural communication. I got an MA in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach in 2012 and began my doctoral studies in 2013. I graduated with a PhD in Sociology from UC San Diego in 2019. Now I am a lecturer in Asian Studies at CSU Long Beach and in Sociology at National University.

Love the Confucius quote.
Hi Barrie,
