#Self

"Love places someone else in the centre of your being and your own self is blurred."

"If you never tell anyone the truth about yourself, eventually you start to forget. The love, the heartbreak, the joy, the despair, the things I did that were good, the things I did that were shameful--if I kept them all inside, my memories of them would start to disappear. And then I would disappear."

"Rulers are not anointed. They are created by the void of self-mastery."

"Don't think about making life better for other people who don't even deserve you, rather, focus on making your life the best, for yourself and those who love you."

"دع إنساناً يغير اتجاه أفكاره، وسوف تتملكه الدهشة لسرعة التحوّل الذي يحدثه هذا التغير في جوانب حياته المتعددة. إن القدرة الإلهية التي تكيف مصايرنا مودعة في أنفسنا، بل هي أنفسنا ذاتها!!وكل ما يصنعه المرء هو نتيجة مباشرة لما يدور في فكره، فكما أن المرء ينهض على قدميه وينشط وينتج بدافع من أفكاره كذلك يمرض ويشقى بدافع من أفكاره أيضأ."

"The living self has one purpose only: to come into its own fullness of being."

"If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else."

"Pure Soul and circumstances; there are only these two; but the disturbance of egoism does not allow it to be at peace."

"Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress."

"One hand was behind his back, and he held it out, presenting a bouquet of white and smoky purple lilies. “They’re straight from the underworld, by the way. They are everlasting. They won’t die."

"Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back."

"Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self."

"المرآة تعكس بدقة متناهية دون أن تخطئ ابداَ . لأنها وبكل بساطة لا تفكر"

"A friend is, as it were, a second self."

"Allowing a friend to careen toward self destruction is not friendship. That is a habit the United States needs to break as it pursues a richer and more deeply supportive relationship with Israel."

"One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else."

"Ask anyone and they'll most likely say their family is crazy, and if they don't say their family is crazy, their friends are crazy. That's because everyone is crazy after taking the mask off. People are most themselves when not really trying to fit in, when either alone or around those already closest to them, and that is crazy."

"You are -- your life, and nothing else."

"I've triedto become someone else for a while,only to discover that he, too, was me."

"True peaceful state is that when one has inner peace amidst total lack of peace on the outside. Bliss of the Self (samadhi) amidst external turmoil is ‘tested’ samadhi."
