Our data demonstrate that the students who exhibited sensitivity to prejudice and discrimination also reported having less self-control of their academic lives. They found it harder to take effective notes, create quiet study spaces and keep to a study schedule. We also know from correlating their responses with their SAT scores that this pattern isn't related to their academic ability -- something about the experience of being stigmatized taps that limited source of self-regulation and interferes with their self-control. (Quote by - Michael Inzlicht)
Successful self-development also involves taking more self-time to be quiet and think for oneself!. (Quote by - Patrick Driessen)

It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (Quote by - Ronald Reagan)
By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character. (Quote by - Grenville Kleiser)

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live / with your self-respect alive and growing. (Quote by - Maxwell Maltz)
I would not send a poor girl into the world, . . . ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself . (Quote by - Anne Bronte)

(Quote by - Dalai Lama)
The self-existent Lord pierced the senses to turn outward. Thus we look to the world outside and see not the Self within us. A sage withdrew his senses from the world of change and, seeking immortality, looked within and beheld the deathless self. (Quote by - Katha Upanishad)
In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self. (Quote by - Mohandas Gandhi)
It's self-dedication, self-motivation, maintenance of your feelings. It's having the ability to fall and fall and fall and get up and keep doing it, keep doing it. It's realizing you've made a mistake and going out there and fixing it. It takes a kid that's really got the inner drive to be better. (Quote by - Amy Nyman)
The underlying theme in most of these cases is the insistence of more self-determination. And the more I think about these issues, the more self-determination makes sense. (Quote by - Harriet Miers)

Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes.

Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a ''taxing-machine';' to the contented, a ''machine for securing property'.' Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable. (Quote by - Thomas Carlyle)

Many have dreamed up republics and principalities that have never in truth been known to exist; the gulf between how one should live and how one does live is so wide that a man who neglects what is actually done for what should be done learns the way to self-destruction rather than self-preservation.

A city on firmer ground. (Quote by - Richard Ford)
He works hard every day, he studies and prepares himself as well as any of our starters. There is no question he has a strong desire to be a part of what's going on.

There wasn't enough evidence to meet the elements of murder. But the bottom line is, I had a witness who was standing outside [the apartment building when the incident occurred] trimming some hedges, who owned the condo, who articulated that these four men rushed into the place. Based on what he said and some other information, it came out that it was a self-defense situation. It was going to be either a robbery, an aggravated assault or a murder. [Mane] had a right to defend himself. [The prosecution] couldn't disprove self-defense. The district attorney didn't have a whole lot of choice but to dismiss it. (Quote by - Dennis Scheib)

Typically, self-service technologies provide very limited visibility into what customers are truly seeking; and more ineptly, search-based tools do not provide insight into the level of satisfaction achieved by the tool. The ASA differs by capturing each and every customer query, providing a real-time snapshot of customer concerns and offering advanced tools for the analysis and management of interactions. The result is not only improved performance to tens of thousands of self service support sessions each day, but a happier and more satisfied customer. (Quote by - Stephen Klein)
Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end. (Quote by - Jane Taylor)
Not only were the platforms in the science fiction movies user-aware, they were self-aware, and that notion of self aware added to the excitement of those motion pictures and added a bit of trouble.

This notion of turning against the user is fundamental to the plot line, but it doesn't have to be that way. (Quote by - Justin Rattner)

Reading history is good for all of us," he says, not surprisingly, perhaps, but his rationale is a fresh, somewhat bracing thought: "If you know history, you know that there is no such thing as a self-made man or self-made woman. We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale. (Quote by - David C. McCullough)
What I thought it was going to be was a self-sustaining program once you got over the initial start-up period. It's not at all self-sustaining and requires massive subsidies for a relatively small number of people. (Quote by - Rep. Richard Woodbury)
Self is ingenious, crooked, and, governed by subtle and snaky desire, admits of endless turnings and qualifications, and the deluded worshippers of self vainly imagine that they can gratify every worldly desire, and at the same time possess the Truth. (Quote by - James Allen)
One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. (Quote by - Arthur Ashe)
Self-confidence is the result of a successfully survived risk. (Quote by - Jack Gibb)
Self-inflicted wounds. All just self-inflicted. We contributed to them getting back in the game with our mental errors. (Quote by - Billy Donovan)
The most natively interesting object to a man is his own personal self and its fortunes. We accordingly see that the moment a thing becomes connected with the fortunes of the self, it forthwith becomes an interesting thing. (Quote by - William James)
Man is mortal. Everyone has to die some day or the other. But one must resolve to lay down one's life in enriching the noble ideals of self-respect and in bettering one's human life. We are not slaves. Nothing is more disgraceful for a brave man than to live life devoid of self-respect. (Quote by - B. R. Ambedkar)
Baseball gives a growing boy self poise and self reliance. (Quote by - Al Spalding)
The sovereignty of one's self over one's self is called Liberty. (Quote by - Albert Pike)
Contemplating and meditating on the 'real-self' accelerates this process of self-development and makes liberation possible. (Quote by - Atharva Veda)
To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self-congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes. (Quote by - Clifford Geertz)
Even the self-assured will raise their perceived self-efficacy if models teach them better ways of doing things. (Quote by - Albert Bandura)
No matter what our achievements might be, we think well of ourselves only in rare moments. We need people to bear witness against our inner judge, who keeps book on our shortcomings and transgressions. We need people to convince us that we are not as bad as we think we are. (Quote by - Eric Hoffer)
A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes. (Quote by - Clare Boothe Luce)
I had a lot of self-loathing, .. I've been self-sustained since I was 11. I've always been the one making the money, and to be flat on my back and .. so vulnerable and then be completely loved. To have my wife be there, 110% supportive. To have my children say, 'It's OK, Mom.' To have the people that I work for say, 'It's OK.' To have my fans go, 'It's all right.' It's like, what was I afraid of? I'm going to get healthy now, and I'm not going to carry that baggage anymore. (Quote by - Melissa Etheridge)
When the goal is to simply automate more functions, essentially adding more paths for the customer to take in self-service channels, companies risk further frustrating customers by making the experience more complex and lost in the maze of self-service roadblocks. By looking at particular customer segments and what self-service options that segment needs [and] wants before adding them, leading companies consistently get a much higher usage of that particular function and greater satisfaction from the customer. (Quote by - Robert Wollan)
The force of selfishness is as inevitable and as calculable as the force of gravitation. (Quote by - Hailliard)
Our self-checkout options do offer customers a convenient option. They may see a line of two or three people at the checkout register, and they can slip in and use the self-checkout devices to get in and out easily and quickly. (Quote by - Marty Heires)
We have believed for a long, long time that the preparation for science engineering, math technology education is something that every student needs to be really deeply immersed in. We can no longer depend in our society on the self-selected people to do this. There are just not enough people that are self-selecting to do this out of the meager exposures we've given them. (Quote by - Albert McHenry)
There are men steady and wise whose body, words and mind are self-controlled. They are the men of supreme self-control. (Quote by - Publilius Syrus)

If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself. (Quote by - Barbara De Angelis)
Any relationship in which you're talking about money, like a broker/client relationship, is a powerful, emotionally-charged thing, .. Money is important because there are so many important connotations to it: self-esteem, security, self-confidence, power. (Quote by - Richard Geist)
We celebrate that this is a new start of their lives. We celebrate that they are self-sufficient. When we say self-sufficient, we mean that they have a place to live, transportation, child care and a job for six months, with benefits if possible. (Quote by - Kathryne Boroughs)
You can make one (self-contained self-rescuer) that would last all day, but you'd have to carry it behind in a wagon. (Quote by - Kenneth Williams)

Revolution begins with the self, in the self. (Quote by - Toni Cade Bambara)
He who considers this [Self ] as a slayer or he who thinks that this [Self] is slain, neither of these knows the Truth. For it does not slay, nor is it slain. (Quote by - Bhagavad Gita)
Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. (Quote by - May Sarton)
It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one's self-respect. Self-respect is the most vital factor in life. Without it, man is a cipher. To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition. (Quote by - B. R. Ambedkar)
There are no utopia jobs on this earth, .. There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody. (Quote by - Chan Gailey)
We tried to change the idea that this team was a loser. So many people had labeled them as losers, and said [these players] couldn't play for anybody else in the league. That the only reason they were even in the NFL was that they were playing for Cleveland, an expansion franchise. Obviously you try to build their self-esteem, their self-respect, and give them a reason to hope. (Quote by - Butch Davis)
Self-service can help retailers better manage staff, especially during peak times. With self-checkout, store personnel can be redirected onto the floor to provide more product information, sales assistance and shelf restocking -- tasks that help contribute to improved levels of customer satisfaction. (Quote by - Patrick Leonard)
When we first signed Courtney up for karate, we did it because we thought it was important that she learn to defend herself. Well, she can defend her self now, but it's given her so much more than that. It's helped her self-confidence, her self-discipline, her listening skills. I'd recommend it to any parents who are thinking about signing their children up for a class. (Quote by - Rebecca McKinney)
This is partly a function of approval ratings. People pay attention [to polls] and start saying, 'Lets take a more independent tack.' It is frankly self-interest, self-preservation. (Quote by - John Thune)
I've actually seen kids who have bad attitudes or temper problems come into fencing and I've seen them leave with much more self-control and self-respect. I've seen them go from really lousy kids to pretty nice people, people I could respect. I think fencing can have an uplifting effect on the soul. It's very much a Western martial art. (Quote by - Dion Shively)
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth. (Quote by - Chanakya)
The ''Inside-Out'' approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self / with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves. (Quote by - Stephen R. Covey)
The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity. (Quote by - Carlos Castaneda)
Self-publishing got a bad rap because there were too many people publishing things that weren't fit to be published, but in the last few years self publishers are producing more daring and more cutting edge work the big houses don't want to mess with. (Quote by - Cathy Stucker)
If in fact the universe were fully explainable in a self-contained way, maybe it would be rational to simply to an atheist, .. If in fact the universe doesn't seem self-explainable, that gives a rational basis for belief that there is a God. (Quote by - Walter Bradley)
The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself. (Quote by - Lao-tzu)
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward. (Quote by - Viktor Frankl)
The one-day team is a little bit below the Test team at the minute, but we are building for 2007 and the World Cup. As a team and players, we had a lot of self-belief that we could turn things around (after first Test defeat at Lord's), and we also have a lot of self-belief we can do very well in the World Cup come 2007. (Quote by - Michael Vaughan)
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery - the source of truth. (Quote by - Barry Long)
The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen. (Quote by - George S. Arundale)
SELF-EVIDENT, adj. Evident to one's self and to nobody else. (Quote by - Ambrose Bierce)
We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say. When your writing blooms out of the back of this garbage compost, it is very stable. You are not running from anything. You can have a sense of artistic security. If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you. (Quote by - Natalie Goldberg)
The key issue here is self-disclosure and self-reporting, .. We found it quickly, and we immediately reported it to the inspector general. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior by anyone at any level in any Halliburton company. (Quote by - Wendy Hall)
The greatest love of all is happening to me.. So goes the popular song. It's a great song. It speaks to the heart, and deeply. It strikes powerfully to uplift the human spirit, at the quest for self-love and self-esteem, the pride in being alive that each of us is entitled to experience simply by being born a human being. (Quote by - Robert White)
You don't cut somebody up, bag them .. dump them in the bay when you act in self-defense. It just doesn't happen. You can't plan to have an accident. You can't plan to act in self-defense. That's the evidence in this case. (Quote by - Joel Bennett)
The dynamo of our economic system is self-interest which may range from mere petty greed to admirable types of self-expression. (Quote by - Felix Frankfurter)
In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect, and no more of it than we had earned. (Quote by - Jane Haddam)
Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward. (Quote by - Napoleon Hill)
Without self-respect there can be no genuine success. Success won at the cost of self-respect is not success ¾ for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own self-respect. (Quote by - B. C. Forbes)
He who seeks truth, shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty, shall find vanity. He who seeks order, shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification, shall find disappointment. He who considers himself a servant of his fellow beings,shall find joy of self expression. He who seeks self expression, shall fall to the pit of arrogance. Arrogance is incompatible with nature. Through nature, the nature of the universe and the nature of man,we shall seek truth. If we seek truth we shall find beauty. (Quote by - Moshe Safdie)
God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you. (Quote by - Meister Eckhart)
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you. (Quote by - David Harold Fink)
Most adults don't know what we do here - let alone kids. It really opens their eyes, and it teaches them good work ethics, how to take direction, how to work hard and how to communicate. The biggest thing is that it gives the kids self confidence and a sense of self worth, and that's worth a lot. (Quote by - Cheryl Powers)
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.. (Quote by - Thomas S. Szasz)

As a community action agency, we are all about helping people become more self reliant, so that's what we are doing today. We are teaching them things they need to know in order to become self reliant. (Quote by - Romande Walker)
Work cure is the best of all psychotherapy, in my opinion.. As well might we expect a patient to recover without food as to recover without work.. The sound man needs work to keep him sound, but the nervous invalid has an even greater need of work to draw him out of his isolation, and to stop the miseries of doubt and self-scrutiny, to win back self-respect and the support of fellowship. (Quote by - Richard C. Cabot)
It is very dangerous to have your self-worth riding on your results as an athlete. (Quote by - Jim Courier)
The economy has settled into a sustainable, self-reinforcing growth path, .. All major categories of the economy have contributed to economic growth. Now that businesses have begun to add to payrolls, the current expansion is self-reinforcing. Only external shocks, such as terrorist attacks or a surge in oil prices, could derail the recovery. (Quote by - Sung Won Sohn)

A yogi is called Self-realized who is satisfied with knowledge and understanding of the Self. (Quote by - Bhagavad Gita)
Self-inflicted wounds, you know. It was all just self-inflicted. (Quote by - Billy Donovan)
Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self.

Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you. (Quote by - James Allen)

It really is an insular, self-contained, almost self-perpetuating culture,. (Quote by - Lawrence Lorber)
Seek always for the answer within. Be not influenced by those around you, by their thoughts or their words. (Quote by - Eileen Caddy)
There is only one security, and when you've lost that security, you've lost everything you've got. And that is the security of confidence in yourself; to be, to create, to make any position you want to make for yourself. And when you lose that confidence, you've lost the only security you can have. .. Self-confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. And when he hasn't got that, not all the pearls in China nor all the grain and corn in Iowa can give him security, because that's the only security there is. (Quote by - L. Ron Hubbard)
The evil done by oneself, self-begotten, self-bred, crushes the foolish, as a diamond breaks a precious stone. (Quote by - Friedrich Max Muller)
place where man laughs, sings, picks flowers, chases butterflies and pets birds, makes love with maidens, and plays with children. Here he spontaneously reveals his nature, the base as well as the noble. Here also he buries his sorrows and difficulties and cherishes his ideals and hopes. It is in the garden that men discover themselves. Indeed one discovers not only his real self but also his ideal self?he returns to his youth. Inevitably the garden is made the scene of man's merriment, escapades, romantic abandonment, spiritual awakening or the perfection of his finer self. (Quote by - Confucius)
The courage of exploring myself was nothing compared to the courage of actually doing the EMT course, .. As a writer, the concept of self-revelation is not new. The problem was getting through the depression and anxiety and doing something unheard of for me: becoming an EMT. Writing about self-revelation is gravy. (Quote by - Michael Stern)
Love is an attachment to another self. Humor is a form of self-detachment -- a way of looking at one's existence, one's misfortune, or one's discomfort. If you really love, if you really know how to laugh, the result is the same: you forget yourself. (Quote by - Claude Roy)
This year, Mardi Gras is a shadow of its former self, because its only 1/3rd of the city back, the rest of us are spread around the country such as myself.

Self-interest, or rather self-love, or egoism, has been more plausibly substituted as the basis of morality. (Quote by - Thomas Jefferson)
A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having. (Quote by - Alice Mary Hilton)
I've seen him far more tense. Whenever he has a formal press conference in the East Room or something, he's terrible. I mean, he's really tense and nervous. I thought he was relatively relaxed -- after that confrontation with Helen Thomas [in which] he let his real self show, that is, the self that many of his advisers see in private. [Laughs] He's known to have quite a temper and to cut people off when he disagrees. (Quote by - Larry Sabato)
We must strive for freedom if we strive for self-knowledge. The task of self-knowledge and of further self-development is of such importance and seriousness, it demands such intensity of effort, that to attempt it any old way and amongst other things is impossible. The person who undertakes this task must put it first in his life, which is not so long that he can afford to squander it on trifles. (Quote by - George Gurdjieff)
Devotional singing induces in you a desire for experiencing the truth, to glimpse the beauty that is God, to taste the bliss that is the Self. It encourages man to dive into himself and be genuinely his real Self. (Quote by - Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

They're selling hormones over the counter now, self-prescribed, self-dosed, no medical monitoring,. (Quote by - William Jarvis)
Convince a man that he is an animal, that his own dignity and self-respect are delusions, that there is no 'beyond' to aspire to, no higher potential self to achieve, and you have a slave. Let a man know he is himself, a spiritual being, that he is capable of the power of choice and has the right to aspire to greater wisdom and you have started him up a higher road. (Quote by - L. Ron Hubbard)
She not only taught dance but self-discipline, self-respect, responsibility and determination, the values that people keep with them forever. (Quote by - Richard Feldman)

I was told to get my self-esteem back, get my self-confidence back. He helped me get some clothes, get a pager, you know, get out of there. (Quote by - Doug Ferrari)
But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking? The entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world -- a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors. (Quote by - Virginia Woolf)
By self-interest, Man has become gregarious, but in instinct he has remained to a great extent solitary; hence the need of religion and morality to reinforce self-interest. (Quote by - Bertrand Russell)
Grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure. (Quote by - Plato)
The sessions at this year's conference focus tightly on how a business - any business, regardless of industry - can significantly benefit from deploying self-service kiosks, and the strategies needed to succeed.

Self-awareness and self-esteem. Those aren't female issues, those are human issues. (Quote by - Curtis Hanson)
A person's life rises and falls on the spiral of existence between self-Poiesis (the ability to organize itself inside its self-consciousness, without outside constraints) and influences and pressures from other subjects, participant groups or systems of existence and belief that there is a higher power that protects and coordinates his destiny. (Quote by - Mariana Fulger)
The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new. (Quote by - Norman O. Brown)
Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image. (Quote by - Denis Waitley)

Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment; Mastering others requires force; Mastering the self needs strength. (Quote by - Lao Tzu)
The will is a powerful ally and desperate enemy. When not subdued by self-control, it becomes a tyrant of selfishness. Under the yoke of self-control however, it is a driving force of perseverance. (Quote by - Natasha Vanderlinden)
This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed. (Quote by - D.H. Lawrence)
So I felt this burning summer. In form I might(Quote by - ravenous self-destroying horde of rats.)
The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified. (Quote by - John Updike)

It's not about armed self-defense. It's about the power of self-organization, of making up your minds you are no longer going to depend on the federal government, you're not going to worry about whether people like you or think you are deserving, but what you are going to do to demand what is rightly yours and make life difficult for people until they make concessions. (Quote by - Lance Hill)
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care. (Quote by - George Eliot)
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. (Quote by - James Allen)

Self is the lord of self, who else could be the lord?. (Quote by - Friedrich Max Muller)
Hardly a man in the world has an opinion upon morals, politics or religion which he got otherwise than through his associations and sympathies.

The result is Conformity. (Quote by - Mark Twain)
He who stops being better stops being good. (Quote by - Oliver Cromwell)

Self-esteem and self-contempt have specific odors; they can be smelled. (Quote by - Eric Hoffer)
In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day. (Quote by - Stephen R. Covey)
Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself. (Quote by - David Brown)

For self is the lord of self, self is the refuge of self; therefore curb thyself as the merchant curbs a good horse. (Quote by - Friedrich Max Muller)
The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity. (Quote by - Mahatma Gandhi)
Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe. (Quote by - Jon Kabat-Zinn)
Don't back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for your beliefs builds self-confidence and self-esteem. (Quote by - Oprah Winfrey)
If somebody doesn't have the self-awareness and self-respect to conduct themselves in a polite and business-like fashion, then that could be an indication of their lack of ability to be a strong performer. (Quote by - Mark Greene)
Boomers always struck me as very self-centered and self-important, because there are so many of us. We're always in the middle of the next fun moment at some everlasting party, and we're not able to defer the gratification to tackle the long-term problems. (Quote by - Michael Franc)
What could begin to deny self, if there were not something in man different from self?. (Quote by - William Law)
Existence is the only reality for the self. As water cannot be separated from wetness, so you, the self, cannot be separated from existence. Existence is an integral aspect of your essence. (Quote by - Science of Identity Foundation- Jagad Guru Chris Butler)
