Summary

This quote suggests that specific qualities - self-reverence, self-knowledge, and self-control - are essential for attaining sovereignty and personal power. Self-reverence implies respecting and valuing oneself, while self-knowledge refers to understanding one's strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals. Finally, self-control involves having discipline and mastery over one's thoughts, actions, and emotions. Together, these qualities enable an individual to possess sovereignty, meaning they have autonomy, authority, and control over their own life and choices. They highlight the importance of self-awareness, self-respect, and self-discipline in achieving personal empowerment.
