“Mastering others is strength. Mastering oneself makes you fearless.”
“One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.”
“It is so easy to convince others; it is so difficult to convince oneself.”
“To tell the truth about oneself, to discover oneself near at hand, is not easy.”
“It is not 'strength' to try to take everything upon oneself.”
