Knowing others 
        is wisdom; 
Knowing the self 
        is enlightenment. 
Mastering others 
        requires force; 
Mastering the self 
        requires strength; 
He who knows he has 
        enough is rich. 
Perseverance is a sign 
        of will power. 
He who stays where 
        he is endures. 
To die but not to perish 
        is to be eternally 
                    present.
