“whatever you think that you will be.
if you think yourself weak, weak you will be;
if you think yourself strong, you will be”

“If you want to know what you think of yourself, then ask yourself what you think of others, and you will find your answer.”

“You think you kill me. I think you kill yourself.”

“Sometimes our strengths are also our weaknesses. Sometimes to be strong you have to first be weak. You have to share your burdens; you have to lean on other people while you face your problems and yourself.”

“Push yourself beyond when you think you are done with what you have to say. […] It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out.”

“It is a big mistake to think that the best way to express yourself is to do whatever you want, acting as you please. This is not expressing yourself. If you know what to do exactly, and you do it, then you can express yourself fully.”

“Whatever you get paid attention for is never what you think is most important about yourself.”

“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.”

“You are not really bothered by what others think of you. You are bothered by what you think of yourself.”

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”
