There are two kinds of people: those who use their will in an effort to conquer the world around them, and those who use their mind in an effort to conquer the will within them. No matter how many conquests they make, the former are always slaves to the blind impulses controlling them. Every great system of thought recognizes the latter as the true conquerors. The modern West, with its shameless worship of the will's every excess, is falling apart because it has rejected this truth (once held in place by Christendom).
