Chapter 37

Da Way Always Not Do Nuhding

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。
Da Way always not do nuhding, yet nuhding mek no sense. If king and lord him could mek like it, all tings would change demself. When dem change and waan mek more, mi a go quiet it wid di nameless simpleness. Di nameless simpleness, it no waan nuhding. When nuhbody want nuhding, stillnes come, and all da place set itself right.
