having nothing and possessing all things,

Who to himself is law no law doth need,
Offends no law, and is a king indeed.

Love is a subject to himself alone,
And knows no other empire than his own.

Lord of yourself, uncumbered with a wife.

Yet he who reigns within himself, and rules
Passions, desires, and fears, is more a king.

Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.

He that owns himself has lost nothing. But how few men are blessed with ownership of self!

A man may be so much of every thing, that he is nothing of any thing.

Translation: He who desires everything, has nothing.

"From all which it is evident, that though the things of nature are given in common, yet man, by being master of himself, and " proprietor of his own person, and the actions or labour of it, had still in himself the great foundation of property;" and that which made up the greater part of what he applied to the support or comfort of his being, when invention and arts had improved the conveniencies of life, was perfectly his own, and did not belong in common to others."

He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
