“One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand men on the battlefield.” ~ Buddha from The Dhammapada
Jesus: “He who rules his spirit has won a greater victory than the taking of a city.”
Rumi: “The lion who breaks the enemy’s ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.”
Leonardo da Vinci: “One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.”
OK. So self-mastery is important.
