Self-pity is
our worst enemy
and if we yield to it,
we can never do
anything wise in this world.

Translation:
Uplift yourself by yourself, do not deprecate yourself.
For only you are your friend, and only you are your enemy.
Meaning:
In order to progress in the spiritual path, in fact, any undertaking, we have to lift ourselves by our own efforts. We are our own friend if we do so, and if we don’t, we become our own enemy. In other words, our success and failure is entirely in our hands. No other person can help or hurt us.
The Bhagavad Gita:
Love your enemy
And God said,
“Love your enemy.”
and
I obeyed Him and loved myself.
~~ Khalil Gibran
Anger
Although you may spend your life killing,
You will not exhaust all your foes.
But if you quell your own anger,
your real enemy will be slain.
~~Nagarjuna
(Nagarjuna -The “second Buddha”, was an Indian Buddhist priest and thinker.)
