“Knowing yourself lets you understand others.”

“If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things that others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.”

“To understand others, you must first learn to understand yourself.”

“In short, let it be your maxim through life, to know all you can know, yourself; and never to trust implicitly to the informations of others.”

“Let yourself go. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them.”

“Be yourself, you might not understand it, others might not understand it, but someday, your purpose will be enough.”

“The more you look into and understand yourself, the less judgmental you become towards others.”

“Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom.”

“If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn't know that you're there.”

“You need to know things the others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself.”
