"You will hardly conquer, but conquer you must. [Lat., Male vincetis, sed vincite.]"

Previous Quote

The good devout man first makes inner preparation for the actions he has later to perform. His outward actions do not draw him into lust and vice; rather it is he who bends them into the shape of reason and right judgement. Who has a stiffer battle to fight than the man who is striving to conquer himself.

— Thomas a Kempis
