Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.
Cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I am.
Very few of us are what we seem.
To thine own self be true.
Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian.
Like everyone else I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings; a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
Self-awareness can't be built on looking at our pluses and minuses before we look at the most basic essence of what we are.
We want something desperately and we try to force the universe to give it up before it is ready. We want everything now. That is the devouring self.
So smile, girl. Smile. Because nobody like a pity-party-havin'-ass woman.
