“Be not another, if you can be yourself.”

““Tomorrow is another day” is something you can say only to yourself, not to the person you want to comfort.”

“As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.”

“And maybe it is only by finding yourself that you can feel the true intensity of becoming close to another person.”

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”

“God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another.”

“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”

“You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.”

“Can you make yourself love? Can you make yourself loved?
-Lena Kaligaris”

“Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself — if you are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of protecting yourself — it is very difficult to take care of another person.”
