The OP reminds me of a passage from the Tao Te Ching, though the sentiment isn't exclusive to Taoism.
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self needs strength.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of willpower.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.
Tao Te Ching, Ch. 33
