Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.

John Lennon

So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.

Elijah Wood

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.

John C. Maxwell

Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people.

André Dubus

George Eliot
