About the Quote
Anyone can conquer other people; history is riddled with examples of that all over the world.
The most difficult person to control is oneself. That requires making changes, some of which are not welcome yet very much needed. Those changes help to bring about the essential transformations we need in order to succeed. These changes also help each of us fulfill whatever potential we have.
