He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

For if the honour paid to Him is shared by others, He altogether ceases to be worshipped, since His religion requires us to believe that He is the one and only God.

He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.

The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.

Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.

God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings.

Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.

He conquers who endures.
