knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.”

and nothing much
bothers them
after
that.”

“Love all, trust a few,
Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy
Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend
Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
But never tax'd for speech.”
― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
