Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true strength lies in conquering oneself, rather than conquering others. While it may be impressive to achieve dominance or success over other individuals, it pales in comparison to the power attained through self-mastery.

It highlights the importance of self-discipline and inner growth as the ultimate source of personal empowerment.

We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. Even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident.
