“Self-help is the best help”
Aesop
“I am always willing to run some hazard of being tedious, in order to be sure that I am perspicuous.”
Adam Smith
“I am always willing to run some hazard of being tedious, in order to be sure that I am perspicuous; and, after taking the utmost pains that I can to be perspicuous, some obscurity may still appear to remain upon a subject, in its own nature extremely abstracted.”
“Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to society... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention”
“The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.”
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages”
“To be able to listen -- really, wholly passively, self-effacingly listen -- without presupposing, classifying, improving, controverting, evaluating, approving or disapproving, without dueling with what is being said, without rehearsing the rebuttal in advance, without free-associating to portions of what is being said so that succeeding portions are not heard at all -- such listening is rare.”
Abraham Maslow
“Self-actualized people...live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.”
“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
“The point is not that I don't recognise bad people when I see them — I grant you I may quite well be taken in by them — the point is that I know a good person when I see one.”
Enid Blyton
"I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems."
Elon Musk
"I say something, and then it usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens."
“Excuses don't burn calories.”
Unknown
When you make yourself into zero, your power becomes invincible.
Mahatama Gandhi
Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.
“There is no difference in souls, only the ideas about ourselves that we wear.”
B. K. S. Iyengar
“Breath is the king of mind.”
“It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.”
"Rather I receive your bullet riddled body with honor that us of your cowardliness on the battlefield."
Malala Yousafzai
"Tell me how can one live without daughters."
"I raise up my voice-not so that I can shout, but so those without a voice can be heard."
"One year ago I left my home for school and never returned."
"No night is long enough for us to dream twice."
Mahmoud Darwish
