It doesn’t matter how well you can outdo others; you will not be able to live without wisdom. Wisdom teaches that true strength is about internal mastery and ruling well within your own self so that as you live in a world filled with temptations to get angry and lash out, you are able to demonstrate true strength that few people ever really achieve.
