Esteem to your higher self.

The whole universe is contained within a single human being—you.

If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity.

Oh, I offended you with my opinion? You should hear the the ones I keep to myself.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, buy you will never imprison my mind.

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

The individual is not accountable to society for his actions, insofar as these concern the interests of no person but himself.

It is of particular value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.

If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.
