道常无为而无不为。
The way does nothing, and nothing is left undone.
侯王若能守之，万物将自化。化而欲作，吾将镇之以无名之朴。
If a ruler could hold to this, the ten thousand things would transform themselves.
And if, in transforming, they stirred up desire, I would settle them with the nameless uncarved block.
无名之朴，夫亦将无欲。不欲以静，天下将自定。
The nameless uncarved block is simply no desire.
Without desire there is stillness — and the world settles itself.
Reading it
The most quoted line in the book, and the most misused. "Does nothing" does not mean doing nothing. It means not adding a second action on top of the first — not managing, not correcting, not needing the outcome to look a particular way. The test is simple: when you step back, does the thing keep running? If yes, you were doing it. If no, you were holding it up.
Pick one thing you supervise — a person, a project, a habit. Leave it alone for three days and see what happens.
