Tags: Night, True ✍ Author: William ShakespeareA man needs to look, not down, but up to standards set so much above his ordinary self as to make him feel that he is himself spiritually the underdog.
Tags: Him, Himself ✍ Author: Irving BabbittIt is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
Tags: Power, Strange ✍ Author: Francis BaconThere is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.

Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.
Tags: Accepting, Yourself ✍ Author: Tyra BanksThe torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny.
Tags: Destiny, Sometimes ✍ Author: Napoleon BonaparteMen are moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.
Tags: Fear, Men ✍ Author: Napoleon BonaparteLovers may be - and indeed generally are - enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.
Tags: Jealousy, May ✍ Author: Lord ByronA widely held, but rarely articulated, belief in our society is that the ideal self is bold, alpha, gregarious. Introversion is viewed somewhere between disappointment and pathology.
Tags: Between, Society ✍ Author: Jonathan CainIn our society, the ideal self is bold, gregarious, and comfortable in the spotlight. We like to think that we value individuality, but mostly we admire the type of individual who's comfortable 'putting himself out there.'

Tags: True, Win ✍ Author: Winston ChurchillIf you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
Tags: Confidence, Life ✍ Author: Winston ChurchillHaving a self, even a simple self, allows you to look into the world and put a mark over what is more important and less important. It's a way of classifying the world in terms of your own needs.
Tags: Put, Simple ✍ Author: Antonio DamasioIn 'Self Comes to Mind' I pay a lot of attention to simple creatures without brains or minds, because those 'cartooned abstractions of who we are' operate on precisely the same principles that we do.
Tags: Mind, Simple ✍ Author: Antonio DamasioOf necessity, the autobiographical self is not just about one individual but about all the others that an individual interacts with. Of necessity, it incorporates the culture in which the interactions took place.
Tags: Others, Place ✍ Author: Antonio DamasioSome of us, for better or worse, develop very stable, consistent, and largely predictable machineries of self. But in others, the self machinery is more flexible and more open to unexpected turns.
Tags: Others, Unexpected ✍ Author: Antonio DamasioYou still have only one self and one identity. However, self, identity and personality are not things, they are not objects, and they certainly are not rigid. Instead, they are biological processes built within the brain from numerous interactive components, step by step, over a period of time.
Tags: Brain, Time ✍ Author: Antonio DamasioCollege was just so essential for my sense of self and my development.

Tags: Else, Put ✍ Author: Bobby DarinI don't decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.
Tags: Full, Memory ✍ Author: Mahmoud DarwishThe self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.

Tags: Creative, Impossible ✍ Author: Charles EamesI'll tell you, I think that the Internet has provided an enormous boost to film criticism by giving people an opportunity to self publish or to find sites that are friendly.
Tags: Friendly, Giving ✍ Author: Roger EbertKeep a journal, and learn how to see how you as an individuals sees information so you can learn your own sign language. Meditate and practice psychic self defense and surrounding yourself with prayer.

Tags: Hard, Three ✍ Author: Benjamin FranklinThe world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a, from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.

Tags: Others, Strength ✍ Author: Billy GrahamThe reason man does not experience his true cultural self is that until he experiences another self as valid he has little basis for validating his own self.
Tags: Experience, True ✍ Author: Edward T. HallWe need a self because the complexity of the chemical processes that make up our individual humanities exceeds the processing power of our brains.
Tags: Individual, Power ✍ Author: Philip Gilbert HamertonIf it takes you seven years to write each novel, you need a patron. And I would rather have my corporate self as my patron than any arts council or bestower of grants.
Tags: Rather, Write ✍ Author: Philip Gilbert HamertonI think there's a natural link between the fact that our self is a story that we make up and that we're drawn to stories. It resonates, in a way.

Tags: Negative, Strong ✍ Author: Ray LaMontagneWriters don't always know what they mean - that's why they write. Their work stands in for them. On the page, the reader meets the authoritative, perfected self; in life, the writer is lumbered with the uncertain, imperfect one.
