Sorry that was Laozi (Lao Tsu) who wrote "The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things."

The Tao Te Ching 道德经 is as close as I get to religion/spirituality. It's just a perspective though, libertarian, stoic.

"Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking."
