If I despised myself, it would be no compensation if everyone saluted me, and if I respect myself, it does not trouble me if others hold me lightly.

Max Nordau

Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.

Stephen Covey

Stop blaming other people for your own behavior! Own the truth. If you don't like it, then invest the time and energy to change it.

Akiroq Brost

You can only be as authentic as you are self-aware.

Susan Campbell

By seeking and blundering we learn.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.

Julian Seifter
