One may conquer a million men in a single battle;

However, the greatest and best warrior

Conquers himself.

Conquest of one’s self is the greatest victory of all.

Neither a god nor a heavenly musician

Nor a mischievous angel

Of the highest of the six heavenly abodes-

The Paranimmita-heaven, where sensual pleasures prevail-

Can deprive the self-vanquished, restrained person of victory.

-the Dhammapada, 8 Φ Thousands





Another great teaching from the Buddha that the big leaders of the world, and all the rest of us, can benefit from.
