"Please get your secret vision as a alchemical professional to agree with the manifestation of the natural qualities of the wool and the chemical properties of the miraculous human inventions of machinery and transformative processes on my humble coat. And if you don't get those stains out, I'm not paying you."

It's from a 1980 commencement address by Alan Alda, who probably finds it hilarious that it's now ascribed to Confucius.

Maybe, deep at the center of Alan Alda's being, Confucius rents a room.

This was from a commencement speech by Confucius to the graduating class of "Great Wall University" in 500 BCE. (Sorry, Just made that up.)
