“Do not wait and hope to be discovered...make yourself so you cannot be denied!”
“If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.”
“And since you know you cannot see yourself,so well as by reflection, I, your glass,will modestly discover to yourself,that of yourself which you yet know not of.”
“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
“You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.”
“Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear.”
