I never dreamed of being Shakespeare or Goethe, and I never expected to hold the great mirror of truth up before the world I dreamed only of being a little pocket mirror, the sort that a woman can carry in her purse one that reflects small blemishes, and some great beauties, when held close enough to the heart.
Peter Altenberg
Image
Suetonius, in holding up a mirror to those Caesars of diverting legend, reflects not only them but ourselves: half-tamed creatures, whose great moral task is to hold in balance the angel and the monster within - for we are both, and to ignore this duality is to invite disaster.
Suetonius
Image
Every artistic form reflects the dynamism that is constantly building up the life of feeling.
Susanne Katherina Langer

A photograph is a mirror mostly it reflects the prejudices of the viewer.
Bill Jay

The command Be ye prfect is not idealistic gas. Nor is it a command to do the impossible. He said (in the Bible) that we were gods and he is going to make good his words. He will make us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature...a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Confession is like a bridle that keeps the soul which reflects on it from committing sin, but anything left unconfessed we continue to do without fear as if in the dark.
John Climacus
Image
It reflects no great honour on a painter to be able to execute one thing well.
Leonardo da Vinci

The history of man is dominated by, and reflects, the amount of available energy

Advertising reflects the mores of society, but it does not influence them.
David Ogilvy

Train the body and develop stamina and endurance. But the spirit of competition and power that presides over them is not good, it reflects a distorted vision of life. The root of the martial arts is not there.
Taisen Deshimaru

Donald Trump reflects a distorted view of the American people and what this country is all about.
Hillary Clinton
Image
When I paint, I seriously consider the public presence of a person - the surface facade. I am less concerned with how people look when they wake up or how they act at home. A person's public presence reflects his own efforts at image development.
LeRoy Neiman

In youth there are always two forces fighting in people. The warm unthinking little animal struggles against the thing that reflects and remembers
Sherwood Anderson
Image
You spend so much of your life crafting this stuff that you want to laugh in the room. I don't want to sit there and slit my wrists. And I think it reflects reality. People use humor to survive, even in the most horrific situations.
Jenji Kohan

A home is more than just where you live it reflects who you are.
Ty Pennington

I put a lot of time and thought into my work, which I see as a sort of respect for both the work and the audience, and I have always been very concerned that the materiality of the work reflects that.
Patricia Piccinini

The world reflects back to you how much you value yourself.
Danielle LaPorte

I think 'The Wire' really is relatable. It reflects an ongoing issue across America, about inaccuracies in major cities between rich and the poor and some of the things that go on behind the red tape of council and government bodies.
Idris Elba

Although being economics editor sounds impressive, it does not mean I actually edit anything. It mainly reflects two decades of title-inflation at the BBC, which has given ever more status to senior reporters, presumably because it is cheaper to do that than to offer higher pay.

First, there was Confucius. Then, the sayings of Chairman Mao. And now the pithy, ironic, and humorous insights of Ai Weiwei. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection, which reflects a well-developed philosophy as well as a keen understanding of the Chinese Communist system. This is China made easy and interesting.
Jerome A. Cohen

Culture has always been more important than politics. Sometimes culture is a mirror that reflects what is sometimes it's a search-light pointing the way to what will be.
Paul Begala

The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
Paulo Freire
Image
In your life’s journey, there will be excitement and fulfillment, boredom and routine, and even the occasional train wreck… But when you have picked a dream that is bigger than you personally, that truly reflects the ideals that you cherish, and that can positively affect others, then you will always have another reason for carrying on.
Pamela Melroy

Whoever reflects on four things I would be better if he were never born: that which is above, that which is below, that which is before, that which is after.
