The Tao never does anything, yet through it all things are done. If powerful men and women could center themselves in it, the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its natural rhythms. People would be content with their simple, everyday lives, in harmony, and free of desire. When there is no desire, all things are at peace.

Note - the first sentence is likely the source of this quote, often (mis)attributed to Lao Tzu:
"Nature never hurries, yet all things are accomplished."
