Moderation is better than muscle, self-control better than political power.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

Patience is better than strength. Controlling your temper is better than capturing a city.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier], And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.

Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Do you want to be a mighty warrior? It’s better to be known as one who is patient and slow to anger. Do you want to conquer a city? Rule over your temper before you attempt to rule a city.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
