@TristanSevers Not in this translation -
@St_Rev Ah, Google says the line about teaching was added by a mathematician who used it as a joke. I heard it from a physicist myself. -

@St_Rev http://mathoverflow.net/questions/219534/most-intriguing-mathematical-epigraphs … "the first part of the last one is an ancient Chinese proverb, but the last two lines are due to René Thom." -
@St_Rev I've also seen it referenced in several martial arts manga, so it definitely does have some cultural penetration.
