Chapter 33
知人者智
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。
He who knows men is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.
He who conquers men has strength; he who conquers himself is strong.
He who knows when he has enough is wealthy; he who perseveres has strong will.
He who does not lose his place is lasting; he who lasts beyond his death is long lived.
