33rd Chapter
One who knows others is intelligent;
One who knows himself is truly wise.
A powerful person wins over others,
A strong person wins over his own ego.
A man who is content has true (spiritual) wealth.
A man who perseveres will reach his goal.
If he holds to his true nature, his life (inner being) will last,
Even though his body dies, his spirit will continue to live as an eternal being.
