Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
