“I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself.”
Interview with Jennifer Rycenga (2 November 1988) http://www.plonsey.com/beanbenders/SUNRA-interview.html
“I will protect my people if I live. For myself I do not fear for I have the word of Usen.”
On being informed that there were authorizations to kill him while he was a prisoner in San Antonio, prior to news of further instructions to transport him to Florida, as quoted in Geronimo and the End of the Apache Wars (1990), by Charles Leland Sonnichsen, p. 102; "Usen" is the Apache word for God, and "Nantan" their word for a leader, spokesman, or "chief".
Context: I will protect my people if I live. For myself I do not fear for I have the word of Usen. Who is the White Nantan to think he can pit his power against that of Usen?
“I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.”
Sachin cannot play the helicopter shot like Dhoni, hit sixes like Sehwag, play an innings like Dravid or be a captain like Ganguly. But no one can be as good as him in what he does. http://www.storypick.com/quotes-by-tendulkar/
“I will live to make myself not feared.”
As quoted in The Historians' History of the World (1904) by Henry Smith Williams, p. 423
As quoted in Sophia, Living and Loving: Her Own Story (1979) by A. E. Hotchner, p. 76.
Context: I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.
“I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself.”
