SELF-CONTROL


Lao-tzu

"He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty."

Lao-tzu is reminding us that the mark of a truly strong person is his ability to control himself and his actions. Very often, when I seek to control others I do so because they cannot control myself, in a mistaken belief that controlling other will make up for lack of self-control.
