Sagely Virtue

"Tau, as it is eternal, has no name. But, though it is insignificant (so little even as to have no name) in its primordial simplicity, the world dares not make a servant of it. If a prince or a king could keep this, everything would spontaneously submit to him; heaven and earth would combine to send down upon him refreshing dew; and the people, without orders, would of themselves harmonize together. If he should ever begin to regulate things with distinctions of names, he would then be getting a name; but he would know to stop at that point, and thereby escape the danger. Tau, as it exists in this world, is like the streams and valleys in relation to the great rivers and seas.*"
