A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There is nothing wrong with dedication and goals, but if you focus on yourself, all the lights fade away and you become a fleeting moment in life.

Pete Maravich

Be aware of how you handle your mind. Be aware of how you treat yourself.

Iyanla Vanzant

Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work.

Adrienne Rich

Stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don't force yourself to seek breadth.

Susan Cain

A haters job is to hate you, and they stay on their job 24/7. So, if you're expecting them to clock out, and leave you alone think again.

Sonya Parker
