What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us.

Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.

To search for truth about self is as valuable as to search for truth in other areas of life.

No one has ever seen the self. It has no visible shape, nor does it occupy measurable space. It is an abstraction, like other abstractions equally elusive: the individual, the mind, the society

But ceremony never did conceal, Save to the silly eye, which all allows, How much we are the woods we wander in.

The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first. I'm a little screwed up, but I'm beautiful.

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

The final mystery is oneself.

I shall always preserve my vermilion heart.
