Dhammapada

	DHAMMAPADA VIII, 5
	Syair 104

Menaklukkan diri sendiri sesungguhnya lebih baik daripada menaklukkan makhluk-makhluk lain; orang yang telah menaklukkan dirinya sendiri selalu mengendalikan diri.

Nelukake awake dhewe sejatine luwih becik tinimbang nelukake titah-titah liya. Wong kang bisa nelukake awake dhewe, tansah ngendhaleni dhiri.

Ones's own self conquered is better than all other people; not even a god, a Gandharva, not Mâara with Brahman could change into defeat the victory of a man who has vanquished himself, and always lives under restraint.
