Who can know the heart of youth but youth itself?
-Patti Smith
Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return.
Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.
-Henry David Thoreau
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
