Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.
Saint Augustine
Image
Do not plunge thyself too far in anger.
William Shakespeare

Martial

Patrick Henry
Image
Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem the shepherd, his lamb the farmer, corn the miner, a stone the painter, his picture the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing.

Knowing thyself, that is the greatest wisdom.
Galileo Galilei

Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit, Or what is worse, be left by it? Why dost thou load thyself when thou 'rt to fly, Oh, man! ordain'd to die? Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high, Thou who art under ground to lie? Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see, For death, alas! is reaping thee.
Abraham Cowley
Image
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly
Andre Gide
Image
What is thy thought? There is no miracle? There is a great one, which thou hast not read, And never shalt escape. Thyself, O man, Thou art the miracle. Ay, thou thyself, Being in the world and of the world, thyself, Hast breathed in breath from Him that made the world. Thou art thy Father's copy of Himself,-- Thou art thy Father's miracle.
Jean Ingelow
Image
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger

If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things first, they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction 'Love the neighbor as thyself.'
George McGovern

Think for thyself one good idea, but known to be thine own, is better than a thousand gleaned from fields by others sown.

Why wilt thou be so sottish, such an enemy to thyself, as to prefer puddle-water, and that poisoned too and stolen, before pure living waters out of thy own well?
Matthew Henry
Image
When Allah created the horse, he said to the wind, I will that a creature proceed from thee. Condense thyself.And the wind condensed itself, and the result was the horse.
Marguerite Henry
Image
Yes, know thyself: in great concerns or small, be this thy care, for this, my friend, is all.
Juvenal
Image
I am puzzled by people today who, after moralizing about the need for cooperation and goodwill and love-thy-neighbor-as-thyself, suddenly invoke the most primitive, barbarous motivations for any kind of progress.
Murray Bookchin
Image
Read not books alone, but men, and amongst them chiefly thyself.
Francis Quarles
Image
Even the humblest mammal's strong sexual, parental, and social instincts give rise to 'do unto others as yourself' and 'love thy neighbor as thyself'.

Image
Knowest thou not the beauty of thine own face? Quit this temper that leads thee to war with thyself.
Rumi

Marcus Aurelius
Image
He hath never failed thee yet. Never will His love forget. O fret not thyself nor let Thy heart be troubled, Neither let it be afraid.
