“Do yourself what you wish others to do.”

“Work is what you do for others, liebchen. Art is what you do for yourself.”

“What you do not use yourself, do not give to others. For example, advice.”

“What the artist wishes to do — as far as you are concerned — is to take you out of yourself. As far as he is concerned, he wishes to express himself.”

“What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.”

“It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.”

“… even a mirror will not show you yourself, if you do not wish to see.”

“Do not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.”

“Trust others to do the right thing. If you can't do that, trust yourself to survive what happens.”

“Do you wish people to think well of you? Don't speak well of yourself.”
