Dao de Jing / Tao te Ching
59/81
"When nobody knows the limits,
One can rule the country."
-- the unknown ruler rules the best.
Or perhaps "the limits" refers to Harmony, mentioned in previous chapters. Harmony is when resources meet needs, so if the limits of resources are unknown, there is harmony.
The mother at the bottom is the Dao.
