He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.

More on Self Mastery
“You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself...the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. ...And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.”
“Great is the man who can overcome theworld, but greater still is the man who canovercome himself, for he will have the worldspinning on the palm of his hand.”
“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
