Thyself Quotes
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Pythagoras
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Thomas a Kempis

William Gurnall
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Ieyasu Tokugawa
Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend.
Akhenaton

Joseph Barber Lightfoot
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Marcus Aurelius
I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
Julia Child
'Know thyself' is a good saying, but not in all situations. In many it is better to say 'know others.'
Menander
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Andre Gide
