Happiness In Hands

Lao Tzu
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

Krishna, Quotes from Bhagavad Gita
Those who have conquered themselves...live in peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, praise and blame...To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same...Because they are impartial, they rise to great heights.

Buddha
One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand on the battlefield.

Bodhidharma
All know the way, but few actually walk it.

Jesus Christ
He who rules his spirit has won a greater victory than the taking of a city.

Oscar Wilde
A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.

James Allen
A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
