“He who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness.”
Chinese Proverbs
“How would your life be different if…You didn’t allow yourself to be defined by your past? Let today be the day…You stop letting your history interfere with your destiny and awaken to the opportunity to release your greatest self.”
Steve Maraboli
“Are you angry that others disappoint you? remember you cannot depend upon yourself”
Benjamin Franklin
“Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned our disapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.”
“Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage”
“A man is a little thing while he works by and for himself; but when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, he is godlike”
