Yourself

From The Dhammapada: Yourself

Love yourself and watch --
Today, tomorrow, always.

First establish yourself in the way,
Then teach,
And so defeat sorrow.

To straighten the crooked
You must first do a harder thing --
Straighten yourself.

You are your only master.
Who else?
Subdue yourself,
And discover your master.
