Chapter 33. Distinguishing virtue
Wise is he who knows others.
Who knows himself is enlightened.
Strong is he who wins the others.
Who wins himself is great.
Rich is he who contends well.
Who has a destination walks quickly.
Who fills his place stays safe.
Who dies without getting corrupted reaches immortality.
