Quotations
Self - Discovery
Your distress about life might mean you have been living for the wrong reason, not that you have no reason for living.
-Tom O'connor
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else.

-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.

-Michelangelo
Those who are brutally honest are seldom so with themselves.
-Mignon McLaughlin
