Better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles

The inspiration.. 
The best possession is yourself, it can't be taken by anyone from you. 

Quote of the day.. 
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

--Buddha

Other idea... 

The real battle is not out there, it is in yourself. Conquering yourself means developing and extracting the best that is in you.

Firming question..
Have you tried conquering yourself?
