Ultimately, I’m not doing that much. I’m only doing what a human being who feels wants to do – in my way, without stepping out of my flow, while staying in my lane. Without, I guess, boring people.
Bad BunnyI’m not going to say I’m cool, because I don’t really feel that. I just don’t care at all, and I guess that’s what people think is cool.
Billie EilishFaithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J. R. R. TolkienWhen love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil GibranI can’t very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.
Joyce MeyerLove takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
James BaldwinI do say things that I think will shock people. But I don’t do things to shock people. I’m not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don’t know how long I’m going to be on this planet. So while I’m here, I might as well make the most of it.
EminemJesus lived a life that was full of joy and contradictions and fights, you know? If they were to paint a picture of Jesus without contradictions, the gospels would be fake, but the contradictions are a sign of authenticity.
Paulo CoelhoI’ve been lucky – all the ads I’ve got, I’ve got to be myself. I haven’t had to act too much or tried too hard to be someone I’m not. I think that’s why people sort of like them. Even the Fastrack ads I did with Genelia.
Virat KohliThis above all; to thine own self be true.
William ShakespeareMy fat never made me less money.
Dolly PartonThe fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
Vincent Van GoghI don’t want to be fake. I’m just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.
Bad BunnyI was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.

George Bernard ShawI allow myself to fail. I allow myself to break. I’m not afraid of my flaws.
Lady GagaI’d always somehow felt slightly as if I’d been born in the wrong country.
Christopher HitchensEven the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother TeresaAll I can do is be me, whoever that is.
Bob DylanYou’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. SeussI was willing to accept what I couldn’t change.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.
Henry David ThoreauNow I am older, I understand we have to accept who we are.
Jackie ChanI love the name of honor, more than I fear death.
Julius CaesarIf we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what’s causing us to do what we do.
Joyce MeyerI’ve never been one to sit back and go, ‚I’d better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don’t want to lose them.‘
Jim CarreyThere are a lot of ‚chicken Christians.‘ Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.
Joyce MeyerI’m comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it’s stretched. Ha ha.
Dolly PartonOne isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya AngelouConscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert CamusTo me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It’s about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.
Richard BransonI want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‚Here I am. This is me.‘ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.
Dwayne JohnsonI find that when I get on stage now, I don’t want to perform a lot of my songs because they don’t feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless.
RihannaAlways be sincere, even if you don’t mean it.
Harry S. TrumanDo you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.
Oscar WildeThe difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I’m willing to show you. In you, it’s courage and daring. In me, it’s weakness.
Brene BrownYou’re not going to say anything about me that I’m not going to say about myself. There’s so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I’m going to say it before they can. It’s the best policy for me.
EminemWithout culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert CamusIt’s easier to aim to please and say what others want to hear than to form an opinion and fight for it, even if it means taking a risk or losing your job.
Robert KiyosakiAn unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
Aldous HuxleyI don’t know that you can put a label on growth. I’m just me.
Lady GagaIf you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThe paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI am who I am. That’s why my friends and peers respect and appreciate me. I don’t change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I’m myself 24/7. People appreciate that.
Kevin HartMy experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‚blackness‘ than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.
Michelle ObamaIf I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham LincolnI don’t like it when people who are young act like they’re 40. That’s taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you’re so mature or whatever – I don’t try to act mature. Some people might say I’m mature for my age, but it’s not something I’m trying to do, you know? I’m just me.
Taylor SwiftIf you were the President of the United States or the Queen of England – you couldn’t have a person who would be more protective than my mother was for me. Which meant really that I could dare to do all sorts of things.
Maya AngelouA leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Golda MeirI’m not a centerfold.
Frank OceanTell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
Paulo CoelhoYou will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.
Oscar WildeI never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Frank ZappaA coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
Mahatma GandhiIt’s simple, if it jiggles, it’s fat.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerNot being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.
Golda MeirYou don’t have to be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be a unique individual, and He wants you to be free to be who He made you to be.
Joyce MeyerBeauty and femininity are ageless and can’t be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won’t like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it’s based on femininity.
Marilyn MonroeI’d rather give my life than be afraid to give it.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI’m not a god – I do bad things.
Jackie Chan
