Calmness of the mind
is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
The calm man, having learned
how to govern himself,
knows how to adapt himself to others.
The more tranquil a man becomes,
the greater is his success,
his influence,
his power for good.
Only the wise man,
only he whose thoughts
are controlled and purified,
makes the winds and storms of his soul
obey him.
