The first and best victory is to conquer self

The one who has conquered himself is a far greater hero than he who has defeated a thousand times a thousand men.

Más grande que la conquista en batalla de mil veces mil hombres es la conquista de uno mismo.

To conquer oneself is the best and noblest victory; to be vanquished by one's own nature is the worst and most ignoble defeat.

"He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty" - Lao-tsu

If you conquer yourself, then you conquer the world

Conquer yourself rather than the world.

Uno podría conquistar a un millón de hombres en batalla, pero debería conquistarse sólo a sí mismo. Ése en verdad es el conquistador supremo.

He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.

If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile.

For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Self conquest is the greatest of victories.
