Discriminating Virtue

"He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened. He who conquers others is strong. He who conquers himself is mighty. He who knows when he has enough is rich. He who walks with energy has a purpose. He who does not miss his proper place continues long. He who dies, but perishes not, enjoys longevity."
