To disappear your complete self into a character is quite difficult. I've tried it 85 times, and I've succeeded two or three times.
I would, therefore, say that for no reason whatsoever, except in self-defence, should one think of killing any animal.
Markings in dry clay disappear Only when the clay is soft again. Scars upon the self disappear Only when one becomes soft within.
Part of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control. Once you get married, however, a good defense is frequency and freedom.
It seems that it is madder never to abandon one's self than often to be infatuated; better to be wounded, a captive and a slave, than always to walk in armor.
If you haven't confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self.
Every time you survive a horrible storm you start thinking that you are immortal and this is the most negative and the most dangerous part of self-confidence!
Only when you are aware of the uniqueness of everyone's individual body will you begin to have a sense of your own self-worth.
Your real self may be hiding somewhere, look for it within, when you find yourself, you can freely be what you want to be.
Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.
Some people stay in the academic world just to avoid becoming self-aware. You can quote me on that.
Life entertains humble men by giving men with below average looks (intellect, knowledge, etc.) an above average self-esteem.
I have never known a really chic woman whose appearance was not, in large part, an outward reflection of her inner self.
Too much time is wasted fighting one self and life itself. Peace and fulfilment emerge the moment you embrace both.
Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our 'self', others and life itself.
Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work.
Powerlessness can be a self-fulfilling prophesy. There is much that is wrong with America. But it will only be made right only if we force change to occur.
Christianity is more than just a belief; it is a life of discipline, a firm determination to live a life of prayer and contemplation, a life of self-denial and Christlikeness.
Neither apology nor kindness can demolish the wall of hatred when built, by choice, on a base of self-centeredness & from the bricks of ego!
Don't always think about being a subordinate, otherwise you would lose your self esteem and not succeed in society.
