📜 Zigaragye translations (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
知人者，智而已矣，未若自知者，超智之上也。胜人者，有力而已矣，未若自胜者，无物以损其力。知足者，自足于己，故不贪求于外。强行者，用心坚固，确乎不可拔。不失其所者，抱朴守素，安其本分。死而不亡者，虽死而道犹存。
James Legge (1891)
He who knows other men is discerning; he who knows himself is intelligent. He who overcomes others is strong; he who overcomes himself is mighty. He who is satisfied with his lot is rich; he who goes on acting with energy has a (firm) will.
