Quotations
Self - Discovery
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
If you aren't sure who you are, you might as well work on who you want to be.
-Robert Brault
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
-Ben Stein
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela
Those who are brutally honest are seldom so with themselves.
-Mignon McLaughlin
