“The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.”

“That was what a best friend did: hold up a mirror and show you your heart.”

“Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.”

“You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.”

“In the end, the only one you can ever really please is yourself. How others feel is up to them.”

“Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.”

“Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back at you.”

“Why you exist, says Nietzsche with Søren Kierkegaard, nobody in the world can tell you in advance; but since you do exist, try to give your existence a meaning by setting up for yourself as lofty and noble a goal as you can.”

“Isn't there a mirror someplace where you can go admire yourself?"
"I never knew a woman so hung up on my good looks."
"All your women are hung up on your good looks. They just pretend it's your personality.”

“One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy.”
