“This above all; to thine own self be true.”
William Shakespeare
“Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
“To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech”
“Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail”
John Donne
“Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate; for so shalt thou make thyself a bond-slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy”
Walter Raleigh Sr.
