One's Own Friend and Enemy

उद्धरेदात्मनाऽऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् । आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥

uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayet, ātmaiva hyātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ

Meaning

Let a person lift themselves by their own mind, not degrade themselves. The mind alone is one's friend, and the mind alone is one's enemy.
