Zitat des Tages über Dich / Thyself:
'Know thyself' is a good saying, but not in all situations. In many it is better to say 'know others.'
Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.

Revere thyself, and yet thyself despise.
Thou shalt free thyself from convention, from everyday morality.
Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend.
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man.
If thou art master to thyself, circumstances shall harm thee little.
Be charitable and indulge to everyone, but thyself.
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Observe all men, thyself most.
First get an absolute conquest over thyself, and then thou wilt easily govern thy wife.

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
Who had deceived thee so often as thyself?
Strange, is it not, my brothers, how often in America those great watchwords of human energy - 'Be strong!' 'Know thyself!' 'Hitch your wagon to a star!' - how often these die away into dim whispers when we face these seething millions of black men? And yet do they not belong to them? Are they not their heritage as well as yours?
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
