"Dao in its eternity does nothing, Yet nothing is not done. If lords and kings can all abide by that, All things will change of themselves. As they change, their desires start to grow; I calm them down with the nameless pristine timber. Calmed by the nameless pristine timber, They will have no more desire. Desireless and calm, The world will correct its own course."

"Dao in its eternity does nothing, Yet nothing is not done. If lords and kings can all abide by that, All things will change of themselves. As they change, their desires start to grow; I calm them down with the nameless pristine timber. Calmed by the nameless pristine timber, They will have no more desire. Desireless and calm, The world will correct its own course."
