Osho

Self trust is the essence of heroism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A great man is always willing to be little.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.

William Hazlitt

We are constantly invited to be who we are.

Henry David Thoreau

True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.

Brené Brown
