Dao De Jing: The name that can be named is not the eternal name

The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is at the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things.

— The Dao De Jing (道德經), said to be written by Laozi (老子), the Old Master

名可名非常名。無名天地之始；有名萬物之母。
