"He who understands others
Is learned.
He who knows himself
Is wife.
He who conquers others
Has muscular strength,
He who subdues himself
Is strong.
He who is content
Is wealthy,
He who does not lose
His foul
Will endure."
I think this quote means that if you know who you are, then you will survive and outcome any problems.

"Man cannot for a thousand days
On end enjoy the Good,
Just as the flower cannot bloom
A hundred days"
I think the quote is trying to emphasize that nobody can have a "good day" forever, and sometimes people will experience bad days. Every pro can have its con. Nothing lasts forever.

"Not forever
Can one enjoy
Stillness and peace.
But misfortune and
Destruction
Are not final.
When the grass
Has been burnt
By the fire of steppe,
It will grow anew
In summer."
Life is a circle , bad things won't last forever and good things will happen once a while and the cycle will repeat over and over.

"One moment
Of patience
May ward off
Great disaster,
One moment
Of impatience
May ruin
A whole life."
I believe the quote is trying to say is that not to rush and do things when you don't have to, but wait and be patient and see how things play out and then interact. Also to not be greedy and act to early and ruin what has happened.

"Man's life does not fill a hundred years, But always is it full of a thousand year's cares. Short the midday, bitter long the nights! Why then do you not grasp the lamp, seeking out for yourself the short-lived joys, why not today? Why will you wait year after year?"
I think the quote is saying that a person's life is not a 100 years long but it is always full of a lot of care. Why not look for yourself now than in the future?
