The more one forgives himself – by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love – the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself.

I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who’s trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in.

I have always observed that when any person is ambitious, then you can always get to see the perfect example of both climbings as well as creeping being performed in a very similar position together.

Rationality belongs to the cool observer, but because of the stupidity of the average man, he follows not reason, but faith, and the naive faith requires necessary illusion and emotionally potent oversimplifications which are provided by the myth-maker to keep ordinary person on course.

Life was to him like strong, white light that hurts the tired eyes of a sick person.

A person always has control over how she meets her adversities, and the good news is that the facing of them, one after another, year after year, builds an inner strength that nobody can take away from you.

In a civilisation frankly materialistic and based upon property, not soul, it is inevitable that property shall be exalted over soul, that crimes against property shall be considered far more serious than crimes against the person.

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can’t be without.

My mom was always keen I stayed in school and got good grades, and she was always keen for me to do medicine. I used to go to drama classes when I was younger, and she would always take me.

I’m not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy. I’m definitely an individual.

I’ve never met a person who doesn’t have a story. Everyone’s got something they’re dealing with

I’m an all-or-nothing kind of person, and when I become interested in something, I give it my all.

I’ve always been a very private, introspective person.

Just like gold, which has to weather very high temperatures to achieve the sheen and shine it finally gets, so also every person has to go through struggles in his life to achieve success.

The kind of person that I admire most would be one who becomes extraordinarily good at doing a lot of things but still maintains a tear-stained countenance.

Despite what you hear about the publishing industry being a fixed game that you can only get in if you know somebody, I’m here in person to tell you it ain’t so. If your stuff is really any good, sooner or later some editor will take a chance on you.

I’m a first-past-the-post person, and always have been.

One person’s craziness is another person’s reality

The protection of a man’s person is more sacred than the protection of his property.

An isolated person requires correspondence as a means of seeing his ideas as others see them, and thus guarding against the dogmatisms and extravagances of solitary and uncorrected speculation.

To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell

Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you’ve been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.

I’m an emotional person, but it is not my helplessness.

I am a very sensitive person.

It’s a weakness to apologize before hearing what the other person’s grievances are. You don’t want to end up creating new grievances where there were none to begin with. Another Daddy-ism, if you hadn’t already guessed.

An “online presence” is “all the true things and all the lies about a person on the Internet.

This is what time travel is. It’s looking at a person, and seeing them in the present and the past, concurrently. And that mode of transport only worked with those one had known a significant time.

You know everything you need to know about a person from the answer to the question, What is your favorite book?

No one actually needs another person or another person’s love to survive. Love is when we have irrationally convinced ourselves that we do.

I’m the kind of person whose clothes are all hung up and color-coordinated, to the point where my whites don’t touch my creams.

I date, but the person I date most is myself, unfortunately.

If someone lacked decency or respect, I didn’t allow that person to stay in my world.

No one single person is going to make each other happy, and it’s foolish to expect the other person to do that.

Don’t dance around the perimeter of the person you want to be. Dive deeply and fully into it.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness – changing your thoughts and energy around that person – can lower stress.

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.

Freedom is a conquest, always partial, always precarious, always challenged … the freest person is the one with the most hope.

One can’t prescribe books, even the best books, to people unless one knows a good deal about each individual person.

Nothing resembles a person as much as the way he dies.

In our personal ambitions, we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up, or else all go down as one people.

I’m not a very gregarious person. I can’t bear attention being called to me in a public place, which is ridiculous in a business that pays you to be noticed.

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself.

I hate yoga so much. Like, if yoga was a person, I’d stab them.

An intelligent person, looking out of his eyes and hearkening in his ears, with a smile on his face all the time, will get more true education than many another in a life of heroic vigils.

I am the only consistent person in my life and so I better like myself, and I better love myself. And I really better know that I’m as beautiful as anyone else.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.

Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can and does not want to.

We cannot live pleasantly without living wisely and nobly and righteously.

If you would enjoy real freedom, you must be the slave of Philosophy.

Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.

No person is free who is not master of himself.

I’m a very political person, and I think things through clearly, even when I was 18 years old.

The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash. Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.

I’m a long-term kind of person.

People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true. And the reason is because it’s so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up. It’s really hard. And you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don’t love it, if you’re not having fun doing it, you don’t really love it, you’re going to give up.

Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’

A prude is a person who thinks that his own rules of propriety are natural laws.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

An average person with average talent, ambition, and education can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society if that person has clear, focused goals.

The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good.

A person talks in such generalities that everyone can understand him and it’s considered to be some deep philosophy. However, I would like to be very rather more special and I would like to be understood in an honest way, rather than in a vague way.

I think it’s my responsibility, as a person of influence—to sometimes try to do what I can

The easiest person to fool is yourself.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

Outside of their particular area of expertise scientists are just as dumb as the next person.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.

I’m a prideful person when it comes to competition.

If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.

If a person overlooks the faults of others, and sees only their merits, and thus keeps his mind serene, his whole life will be happy. To be unconcerned in all things, with the mind cool, free of desires and without hate, is beautiful in a seeker.

When I’m a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It’s somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.

I’m a day-to-day-type person.

A lot of people have the idea that I’m a wild sexual person… I’ve lectured quite a few people out there. I’ll say, ‘Think about what you’re saying. How would you react if you were me?’ I ask that question a lot. ‘How would you react if you were me?’ They say, ‘Okay, okay.

Behind every successful person lies a pack of haters.

The human person is the sum total of a 15 billion year chain of unbroken evolution now thinking about itself.

The person who will make the greatest contribution to a company is the mature person-and you cannot have maturity if you have no life or interest outside the job.

While I may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all; and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family.
