Self

"If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another man should conquer himself,
this would be the greater victory, because the greatest victory is over oneself..." - The Dhammapada

"Understanding of the self only arises in relationship, in watching yourself in relationship to people, ideas, and things; to trees, the earth, and the world around you and within you. Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action." - J. Krishnamurti

"He who wishes his own happiness by causing pain to others is not released from hatred,
being himself entangled in the tangles of hatred." - The Dhammapada

"The self has no boundaries except those it accepts out of ignorance." - Seth

"When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you." – Confucious

β€œTo be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.” - Confucius
