Gordon B. Hinckley
The most important single thing we had to pound into ourselves is that we were not important, we musn't be pedants; we were not to feel superior to anyone else in the world. We're nothing more than dust jackets for books, of no significance otherwise. Ray Bradbury
We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers. Deny us for our good; so find we profit. By losing of our prayers. William Shakespeare

We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate. Amy Tan
the sounds next door served as a kind of trip wire: I seemed to stumble and fall on my face, skinning and bruising myself here and there and scattering my emotional and intellectual possessions. There was no point in pretending that I had not fallen, for when we are stretched out in the dirt we must pick ourselves up and brush off our clothes. This then, in a sense, is what I did, reviewing my considered opinions on marriage, constancy, man's nature, and the importance of love. When I had... John Cheever
You are a midwife, assisting at someone else's birth. Do good without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free and in charge. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say, "We did it ourselves! Lao Tzu
William Shakespeare quote: "It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. William Shakespeare
We become like dead branches and last year's leaves and what the hell good are we for ourselves and the world in a mental ghetto. Chaim Potok
As brothers and sister we knew instinctively that if we were going to stand in darkness, best we stand in a darkness we had made ourselves. Doug Coupland
Graham Greene quote: "What have we all got to expect that we allow ourselves to be..."
What have we all got to expect that we allow ourselves to be so lined with disappointment? Graham Greene
Charisma -- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves Paulo Coelho
It was the tenderness mingled with melancholy which we bring to a time that belongs irrevocably to the past, when a pale, delicate shadow rises from it bearing the lilies of the dead, and in it we find a forgotten likeness to ourselves. And that faint, wistful shadow, that pale scent, seemed to vanish away into a wide, full, warm stream? the life that now lay open before him. Robert Musil
