"Tao endures without a name. Though simple and slight, No one under heaven can master it. If kings and lords could posses it, All beings would become their guests. Heaven and earth together Would drip sweet dew Equally on all people Without regulation. Begin to make order, and names arise. Names lead to more names - And to knowing when to stop. Know when to stop: Avoid danger. Tao's presence in this world Is like valley streams Flowing into rivers and seas."
