Quotes of the Week - May 8, 2012:
"I wasn't supportive of his partying or his relationship with another
girl." -- Dita Von Teese, burlesque artist, on why her marriage
to rock star, Marilyn Manson, ended.
"I love British men's sense of humor and the sense of chivalry
and charm. It is something that is innately part of the culture. It's
not the same in America." --Cameron Diaz, actress.
"I counted that there were six girls in total. That does not seem
to me to be a considerable number. Numerous young women with whom I've

are about having free and consentual sex." -- Dominique Strauss-Kahn,

He who knows others is wise;
He who know himself is enlightened.

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness
of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What
you'll discover is yourself.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
Author Unknown
He that knows himself knows others.
Charles Caleb Colton
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the
result of a hundred battles.
Sun Tzu
You have to start knowing yourself so well that you begin to
know other people. A piece of us is in every person we can ever
meet.
John D. MacDonald
The only journey is the journey within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Know thyself means this, that you get acquainted with what you
know, and what you can do.
Menander
Yes, know thyself: in great concerns or small,
Be this thy care, for this, my friend, is all.
Juvenal
The greatest explorer on this earth never takes voyages as long
as those of the man who descends to the depth of his heart.
Julien Green

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.
Quentin Crisp
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
Thomas Mann
What the world needs is more people who know themselves.
Ron W. Rathbun
"Know thyself," said the old philosopher, "improve
thyself," saith the new. Our great object in time is not
to waste our passions and gifts on the things external that
we must leave behind, but that we cultivate within us all that
we can carry into the eternal progress beyond.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind,
stop fighting with your thoughts.
Peter McWilliams
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try
to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like
books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now
seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would
not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually,
without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the
answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet.
All men should strive
to learn before they die
what they are running from, and to, and why.
James Thurber
We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we
stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples' models,
learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.
Shakti Gawain
Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen carefully.
Littlefoot's Mother, The Land Before Time
One of the secrets of life is to be honestly who you are. Who
others want you to be, who you used to be, and who you may some
day become ... these are fantasies. To be honestly who you are
is to give up your illusions and face today with courage.
Bill Purdin
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will
meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau
To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
George Michael
Kissing A Fool.
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search
of.
Michel de Montaigne
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving
up on being perfect and beginning to work on becoming yourself.
Anna Quindlen
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and
returns home to find it.
George Moore
The real power behind whatever success I have now was something
I found within myself -- something that's in all of us, I think
-- a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.
Tina Turner
Know yourself. Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive
evidence that you are wonderful.
Ann Landers
Resolve to be thyself; and know that he who finds himself, loses
his misery.
Matthew Arnold |
