“As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations. We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their "right" place.”

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”

“When we are overly concerned with what people think we will be controlled by the thoughts and opinions of other people.”

“People like us, we think differently, don't we? We are different. We do all the things that others do. But when it comes down to it, we don't need anyone else. We're happy doing what we do and having obligation interferes with that. And sometimes I think we don't even need ourselves. What's most important is to find out whether we're right or not.”

“When we place more value on what other people think of us than on what we think of ourselves, it’s a formula for misery.”
