________________
quereth his self than that of one who conquereth thousands in a valiant fight.
Fight with thy self; why fight with foes external ? Happy is he who conquereth his self by his self.
Conquer thy self, for difficult it is to conquer self. If self is conquered, ye shall be happy in this world and after.
Better it is that I should conquer myself by restraint and penance than be restrained by others by fetters and death.
As a crane is produced from an egg and an egg from a crane, so delusion springs from desire and desire from delusion.
