Thyself Quotes
Absolve me, teach me, purify me, strengthen me: take me to Thyself, that I may be Thine and Thine only.
Joseph Barber Lightfoot
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
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Marcus Aurelius
'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
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
Marcus Aurelius
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.
Akhenaton
First get an absolute conquest over thyself, and then thou wilt easily govern thy wife.
Thomas Fuller
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
