4chan? Are you serious?

That proverb is ancient - it has been around for centuries (if not longer).

Exactly. I see a lot of people attributing it to a Ancient Chinese Saying, but no verification. At least I know for sure it was said on 4chan.

It was said here too, but that doesn't make HN the source.

4chan gets a lot of credit as the origin for various things which I don't think it deserves most of the time.
