Tao Te Ching (Translated by D.C. Lau,2001)

He who knows others is clever;

Q&A
He who knows himself has discernment.

He who overcomes others has force;

He who overcomes himself is strong.

He who knows contentment is rich;

He who perseveres is a man of purpose.

He who does not lose his station will endure.

He who lives out his day has a long life.
