Zitat des Tages über Uns selbst / Ourselves:
For me, the greatest obstacles are never on the ice itself. That's the area I excel in. That's where my passion is. I think we all strive to push ourselves, to overcome our struggles. And when we do, we get to know ourselves better.

Hollywood likes to imagine robots as mechanical copies of ourselves - which is a terrible idea.
We all started calling ourselves 'Ramones' because it was just a fun thing to do.
We all take from our artistic endeavors what we as individuals need, to make the process unique and fulfilling to ourselves.
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.
It's around the table and in the preparation of food that we learn about ourselves and about the world.
Most people believe, mistakenly, that wealth in a human society has something to do with money, but that's not true. Money is simply a medium of exchange. Prosperity in a human society is the accumulation of solutions to human problems that we create for ourselves.
The Net is allowing us to turn ourselves into a giant, collective meta-intelligence. And this meta-intelligence continues to grow as more and more people come online.
I led a comfortable life, went to good schools and was privileged in many ways, but my father worked hard. We never considered ourselves rich.
When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.
My relationship with fashion has always been that each of us stars in our own movies and costumes ourselves to play the part we want. You take blouses and jeans and dresses, and you put them together, and they tell your story.
While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?
The situation the Earth is in today has been created by unmindful production and unmindful consumption. We consume to forget our worries and our anxieties. Tranquilising ourselves with over-consumption is not the way.
Our present time is indeed a criticizing and critical time, hovering between the wish, and the inability to believe. Our complaints are like arrows shot up into the air at no target: and with no purpose they only fall back upon our own heads and destroy ourselves.
We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves.
I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.
It would be nice to redefine ourselves - at the moment we are drowning in diversity. That's not a bad thing, its just going to take a while before we refocus.

I find that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.
Let's stop playing with ourselves and get on with the entertainment, shall we?
It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.
Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
I don't think we ever know 100 percent of a person, even ourselves, but I think in families, you get closer to people's secrets and people's darkness - and their light, the full contrast of a person.

Then, certainly, to be a Christian is to love God above all, and our neighbour as ourselves.
