14 إنَّ الحازِمَ مَنْ شَغَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِجِهادِ نَفْسِهِ، فَأصْلَحَها، وحَبَسَها عَنْ أهْوِيَتِها ولَذّاتِها فَمَلَكَها، وإنَّ لِلْعاقِلِ بِنَفْسِهِ عَنِ الدُّنيا وَما فيها وأهْلِها شُغْلاً.
15. Verily the judicious person is one who restrains his [lower] self by taking it to account, and controls it with rage (or by overcoming it), and kills it by fighting against it.
