Ties between Tao Te Ching and The Trial and Death of Socrates

I don't remember what the quote was, but Socrates told Euthyphro that he couldn't understand him because he knew too much. In poem 47, the author says "the more you travel, the less you know". i think these relate because as you learn more and grow in knowledge, you fail to see the simple and obvious truths.
