Those who know others are wise. Those who know themselves are wise. Those who conquer others are powerful. Those who conquer themselves are strong.
Warring States Period? Laozi's "Tao Te Ching"
The one who knows well about others is only a smart guy, whereas the one who understands himself is the sensible Solomon.
The one who could defeat others is just a strong man, whereas the one who could win over his evil in mind (心魔) himself is really a powerful one.
Quoted from the work as Tao Te Ching (or free translation: Canon of Morality) by Lao-tse (or: Laozi, Li Er, Li Er) during the Warring States period in ancient China
