I'm not sure how long this will last, but I think I will dedicate this week's journal entries to proverbial sayings (definitely with no intentions of making you wretch).
She who overcomes others is strong; she who overcomes herself is mighty.
-Taoism
Difficult to conquer is one's self. But when that is conquered, everything is conquered.
-Jainism
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?
-Christianity
If one were to conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, he who conquers himself is the greatest warrior.
-Buddhism
People who post proverbs for others to see, while rewarding for the self, make others
-GrievousAngel acknowledging reality
Enjoy!
