He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.-- Aesop To decide,to be at the level of choice,is to take responsibility for your life and to be in control of your life.-- Abbie M.Dale No man is an Island,entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent,a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the less,as well as if a promontory were,as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any mans death diminishes me,because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.-- John Donne,Meditation XVII I live in that solitude which is painful in youth,but delicious in the years of maturity.-- Albert Einstein The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you,the better you will hear what is sounding outside.-- Dag Hammarskjold A man has to live with himself,and he should see to it that he always has good company.-- Charles Evans Hughes The one thing that doesnt abide by majority rule is a persons conscience.-- Harper Lee At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life; this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity:that one is alone.That isnt as bad as it may first appear; and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself; his fate,his future,his whole expanse and world.-- Rainer Maria Rilke Were our own dragons as well as our own heroes,and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves.-- Tom Robbins Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom,and being ones own person is its ultimate reward.-- Patricia Sampson Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.-- George Bernard Shaw The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.-- Henry David Thoreau If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.-- Virginia Woolf
