“We are forever looking outside ourselves, seeking approval and striving to impress others. But living to please others is a poor substitute for self-love, for no matter how family and friends may adore us, they can never satisfy our visceral need to love and honor ourselves.” NeedsMaySelfMatterPoorForeverSelf LoveHonorPleaseStriveSeekingSubstitutesApprovalImpressAdoreFamily And FriendsVisceralLove And Honor Author:Susan L.

“Surely, if we considered detraction to be bred of envy, nested only in deficient minds, we should find that the applauding of virtue would win us far more honor than the seeking slyly to disparage it. That would show we loved what we commended, while this tells the world we grudge at what we want in ourselves.” IfsWorldWantShouldMindShowsWinningVirtueHonorSeekingEnvyGrudge Book:Resolves: divine, moral and political Source: Resolves: divine, moral and political
“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.” IfsWellsSelfEasyMy OwnHonorCostOfficeAmbitionMy FamilyIndependenceSeekingWelcomeSelf RespectStationsControlledHistoricPrivate LifeMy Ambition Author:Rutherford B.

“I'm being explicit about really horrifying experiences in my life, but my hope has always been to be responsible as an artist and to avoid indulging in my misery, or to come off as an exhibitionist. I don't want to make the listener complicit in my vulnerable prose poem of depression, I just want to honor the experience. I'm not the victim here, and I'm not seeking other peoples' sympathy. I don't blame my parents, they did the best they could.” WantArtistParentHonorResponsibleVictimBlameMiserySeekingVulnerableProseListenersBeing ResponsibleExplicitExhibitionist Author:Sufjan Stevens
“It is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.” LittlesPersonsMightUnderstandingVisionPositionHumilityProudHigherHonorSeekingMeritGroundedTrue HumilityLittle Knowledge Author:Thomas a Kempis
