Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.
Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.
Your value doesn't decrease based on someones inability to see your worth.
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
It takes courage...to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.
You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourselves.
Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one's self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
