Taoism is the happiest philosophy for me. I keep my copies (I need multiple translations, and there's a book I've seen that gives the breakdown word-by-word in Chinese of the meaning, including multiple translations and associations for each symbol) of the Tao Te Ching next to my Bagavad Gita. On one hand you have action and the other effortlessness and everything else lies between.
So yeah, I love hearing their quotes. It's exactly the sort of thing that I'd expect to hear from a person who is in wu wei.
