The Tao Teh King · Laozi
Chapter 1
Produced by Gregory Walker by Lao-Tse Translated by James Legge Ch. 1. 1. The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. 2. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things.
