TAO never makes any ado,
And yet it does everything.
If a ruler
can cling to it,
All things will grow of themselves.
When they have
grown and tend to make a stir,
It is time to keep them in their place
by the aid of the
nameless Primal Simplicity,
Which alone can
curb the desires of men.
When the desires of men are curbed, there will
be peace,
And the world will settle down of its own accord.
