“Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature.”

Simplified Meaning:
When you learn to control your desires and wants, you gain mastery over a big part of what it means to be human. Imagine you are on a diet and really want to eat a big piece of cake. If you can say no to the cake, you are showing that you have power over your cravings. This is like a small victory over your natural instincts and urges. It’s challenging because human nature often pushes us to seek immediate pleasure and satisfaction. But by practicing self-control, you become stronger and more disciplined. This can lead to better decisions and a more balanced life, similar to how resisting the cake can help you achieve your health goals.
