Ernest HemingwayHe who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.
Lao TzuI don’t make people bend over backwards, and I don’t like that in people. I am definitely no diva.
Dolly PartonToday I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god; but who knows my god?
Friedrich NietzscheYour love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

EminemThe mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.
VoltaireYou see, I am trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across – not to just depict life – or criticize it – but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me, you actually experience the thing. You can’t do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful.
Ernest HemingwayIt takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

DiogenesWhat a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.
Mark TwainI care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!
Theodore RooseveltThat’s the biggest gift I can give anybody: ‚Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you’re doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.‘
Maya AngelouWe are braver and wiser because they existed, those strong women and strong men… We are who we are because they were who they were. It’s wise to know where you come from, who called your name.
Maya AngelouIf man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on.
Immanuel KantSo when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they’re gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth in perspective.
Steve JobsNever let your ego get so close to your position that when your position goes, your ego goes with it.
Colin PowellOnce you’ve changed who you are or who you’ve portrayed in your music, the fans, they’ll catch it… Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed.

John LennonAs the father of eight children, I’m quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries – it’s the I that’s in the ever-changing body.
Wayne DyerNo face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.
Henry David ThoreauIn retrospect, I can see I couldn’t talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching about. Ha! Like, that sure made sense!
David ByrneMy priority is cricket. Everything that I get apart from it is a result of the effort on the field. Everything else follows. I am pretty aware of my priorities, and I don’t really focus on things that are not as important to me as cricket.
Virat KohliOne thing I hope I’ll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
Jim CarreyI just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.
Joyce MeyerThere are so many emotions that you’re feeling, you can get stifled by them if you’re feeling them all at once. What I try to do is take one moment – one simple, simple feeling – and expand it into three-and-a-half minutes.
Taylor SwiftA man’s own judgment should be the final appeal in all that relates to himself.
Alexander Graham Bell‚They‘ is… stay away from them, please. There is so many different definitions of ‚they.‘ You might have a personal ‚they.‘ They against you; they want you broken and miserable. They don’t like winners; they don’t like people who’s blessed. So everybody’s got a different ‚they.‘
DJ KhaledI feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world… If you decide you want to found a company, you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers.
Mark ZuckerbergFor the first time we’re allowing developers who don’t work at Facebook to develop applications just as if they were. That’s a big deal because it means that all developers have a new way of doing business if they choose to take advantage of it. There are whole companies that are forming whose only product is a Facebook Platform application.
Mark ZuckerbergMy unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.
Conor McGregorIs it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
Mahatma GandhiThere are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.
William Makepeace ThackerayThe Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack ObamaNo, I’m not a French designer either. I’m from nowhere. I’m a European, old European is all I am.
Karl LagerfeldSometimes I catch myself stooping, and whenever I am like that, I am sure something is not quite right.
Paulo CoelhoI put my flaws on front street. So the world accepted my flaws, so I don’t have any flaws.
Kevin GatesWe are second-hand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences, and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves: nothing original, pristine, clear.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiTo know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John RuskinThe business aspect is one of the most important things about having a music career, because every choice you make in a management meeting affects your life a year-and-a-half from now.
Taylor SwiftI’m honest enough to say I don’t know everything. You know, I don’t. I don’t understand all of God. I don’t understand, you know, some kind of why bad things happen.
Joel OsteenWithout deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert EinsteinIf you cannot concentrate, you are not so happy.
Haruki MurakamiI always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

John Ruskin
