If he conquered everything he would not take it to himself. His glory is in knowing that all things come together in One and life and death are equal. He does not struggle to make money and does not make a virtue of poverty. He goes his way without relying on others and does not pride himself on walking alone. While he does not follow the crowd he won't complain of those who do.
Perfect virtue produces nothing.
