He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
With virtue and quietness one may conquer the world.
Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
