Hola

Estoy traduciendo una documentación sobre el agua y el desarrollo sostenible y me aparece esta cita de Bodhidharma:
All know the way, but few actually walk it. Bodhidharma, 6th Century

¿Alguién sabe si ya se ha traducido? He encontrado otras de él, traducidas al español, pero no de ésta.
Saludos.
