A wiseman who considers himself a fool is wise indeed
While a fool who considers himself a wiseman is a fool for that very reason

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your words, for they become actions.

Watch your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

“Have you ever noticed that as the sphere of understanding grows ever larger, the surface area of ignorance gets ever bigger.”
 
'Good enough' isn't Good Enough.

It is always better to be the person who knows more than they let on, than to be the person who lets on they know more than they do.

whenever people say 'we musn't be sentimental' you can take that to mean they are about to do something cruel. And if they add 'we must be realistic', they mean they are going to make money out of it.

Only those who risk going too far could possibly find out just how far one can go.
 
"The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened. This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty."

-- Former Lord Chief Justice Hailsham

there are some who have found such little value in their-self, that they will try and discredit what you have found of value in yourself; let them be, and you will too.

We are caged by our cultural programming. Culture is a mass hallucination, and when you step outside the mass hallucination you see it for what it's worth.
