32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
32 Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.
32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Moderation is better than muscle, self-control better than political power.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

Commentary on Proverbs 16:32
(Read Proverbs 16:32)
To overcome our own passions, requires more steady management, than obtaining victory over an enemy.
