Alain French
One must be truthful with oneself about one's own motives, especially if one is to survive in the world. It takes rigor, and it takes courage.
|
Alice Mary Hilton
A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having.
|
Ani Difranco
I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.
|
Ansari
If thou canst walk on water, thou art no better than a straw. If thou canst fly in the air, thou art no better than a fly. Conquer thy heart that thou mayest become somebody.
|
Arthur Ashe
One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.
|
Barbara De Angelis
If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.
|
Bruce Catton
To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.
|
Charly Heavenrich
It doesn't matter what we do until we accept ourselves. Once we accept ourselves, it doesn't matter what we do.
|
Claude M. Bristol
Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.
|
Clifford Geertz
To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self-congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.
|
Confucius
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
|
Daniel Day-lewis
I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else.
|
David Brown
Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.
|
David Seabury
A wise unselfishness is not a surrender of yourself to the wishes of anyone, but only to the best discoverable course of action.
|
Edward Dahlberg
The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self-service populace, and all our specious comforts --the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria --are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.
|
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
|
Eileen Caddy
Seek always for the answer within. Be not influenced by those around you, by their thoughts or their words.
|
Eric Hoffer
No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are.
