I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the concept of personal mastery and self-control. It suggests that one can consider themselves a true king or queen when they possess the ability to govern their own actions, thoughts, and emotions. It implies that true power lies in being self-disciplined, self-aware, and having control over one's own behaviors and choices. In this context, being a king is not about external dominance or control over others but about introspection, self-improvement, and being the master of one's own destiny.
