Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, that I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever only rejoices me, and the heart appoints

It is as impossible for a man to be cheated by any one but himself, as for a thing to be and not to be at the same time

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Courage consists in the power of self-recovery.

You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
