Self Development Quotes

With my daughter, who at the time was one, my domestic life needed to take more precedent and really with my own self I needed to develop quite a bit more. So that put Blur down the list of priorities quite a lot by the time I came to thinking about it. Graham Coxon
Zerelda G. Wallace quote: "The highest form of development is to govern one's self."
The highest form of development is to govern one's self. Zerelda G. Wallace
Jane Levy quote: "I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood,..."
I developed a sense of self before moving to crazy Hollywood, which was really important. Jane Levy
Aikido is not merely about fighting and the development of the physical self but the perfection of the spiritual man at the same time. It has very harmonious movements, very beautiful to watch and beautiful for your body to feel. Steven Seagal
The development of the meaning attaching to the personal self, the conscious being, is the subject matter of the history of psychology. James M. Baldwin
All along we find that social life - religion, politics, art - reflects the stages reached in the development of the knowledge of self; it shows the social uses made of this knowledge. James M. Baldwin
George P. Baker quote: "Acted drama requires surrender of one's self, sympathetic..."
Acted drama requires surrender of one's self, sympathetic absorption in the play as it develops. George P. Baker
