Chapter 33
Knowing Oneself
知人者智，自知者明。
胜人者有力，自胜者强。
知足者富，强行者有志。
不失其所者久，死而不亡者寿。
James Legge · 1891 · Public domain
1. He who knows other men is discerning; he who knows himself is intelligent. He who overcomes others is strong; he who overcomes himself is mighty. He who is satisfied with his lot is rich; he who goes on acting with energy has a (firm) will.
2. He who does not fail in the requirements of his position, continues long; he who dies and yet does not perish, has longevity.
