One should speak little ordsprog

en One had rather malign oneself than not speak of oneself at all.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona. It requires ignorance -- nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city -- as one loses oneself in a forest -- that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.

en To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.

  Dalai Lama

en It is not enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.

en Making oneself a likeness, i.e. putting oneself in the position of other people, it is right to love none but one's own wife.

en Unfortunate impracticability of temper and spirit of opposition of those in authority over oneself misled oneself into frequent collision with my predecessors.

en The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.

en "To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person."
  Bruce Lee
