道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名。无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母。故常无欲，以观其妙。常有欲，以观其徼。此两者，同出而异名。同谓之玄。玄之又玄，众妙之门。

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism.
