道常无为而无不为。侯王若能守之，万物将自化。化而欲作，吾将镇之以无名之朴。无名之朴，夫亦将无欲。不欲以静，天下将自定。

📜 ⴼⴽⵉ ⵓⵏⴰⵡⴰⵏ (ⵡⴰⵏⴳ ⴱⵉ · ⵍⴰⵊ · ⴰⵢ ⴰⵎⴰⴷⴰⵏ)
James Legge (1891)
The Tao in its regular course does nothing (for the sake of doing it), and so there is nothing which it does not do. If princes and kings were able to maintain it, all things would of themselves be transformed by them. Simplicity without a name Is free from all external aim. With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will.
