“Greater in battlethan the man who would conquera thousand-thousand men,is he who would conquerjust one —himself.Better to conquer yourselfthan others.When you've trained yourself,living in constant self-control,neither a deva nor gandhabba,nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,could turn that triumphback into defeat.”

“He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. ”

“He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty" - Lao-tsuOne who can control his thoughts has conquered himself.”

“…If one who slays one is a murderer then he who slays a thousand is not a hero,' said Lalu.”
