Chapter 33
The Inner Cultivation of Tao
To understand others is cleverness; to understand yourself is true clarity. To overcome others is strength; to overcome yourself is true power. To know contentment is true wealth. To live by the Tao with steady effort is true purpose. To hold fast to your root is to endure. To die in body but live on in spirit—that is true long life.
