Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others, as, by self-examination, thoroughly to know our own.

Our worth is always determined by our deeds, not by our good intentions, however noble.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

There is one irrefutable law of the universe: We are each responsible for our own life. If you're holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you're wasting your time. You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn't receive.

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.

you are the single biggest influence in your life.

I want people to understand, that you are responsible for your life. Weather you are transexual, weather you are a divorcee, weather you are terminally ill, weather you are posessed by the devil or trying to get the devil out of you. You have control over your life, and it is only when you recognize that, and is willing to be responsible for your life that you can truely soar, and I believe that it's possible in our lifetime to fly if you want to.

The great American mythologist, author, and philosopher Joseph Campbell once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

A man should demand much from himself, but little from others. When you meet a man of worth, think how you may attain to his excellence. When you meet an unworthy one, then look within and examine yourself.

You are not yet able to serve men, how can you serve spirits?

Don't worry if you have no position: worry about making yourself worthy of one. Don't worry if you aren't known and admired: devote yourself to a life that deserves admiration.
