True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life ourselves and the world around us.

Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

We need to give each other the space to grow to be ourselves to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas openness dignity joy healing and inclusion.

Once the attacks occur as we learned on Sept. 11 it is too late. It makes little sense to deprive ourselves of an important and legal means to detect and prevent terrorist attacks while we are still in the middle of a fight to the death with al Qaeda.

We get information in the mail the regular postal mail encrypted or not vet it like a regular news organization format it - which is sometimes something that's quite hard to do when you're talking about giant databases of information - release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks.

To know ourselves is agreed by all to be the most useful Learning the first Lessons therefore given us ought to be on that Subject.

Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.

Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth to make truth laugh because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves no matter how unpleasant are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn whatever steps we take they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

Real leadership means tackling tough problems ourselves and not leaving them to our children.

There is no international problem that can be addressed or solved without the engagement and leadership of the United States and everybody in the world knows that its just fact of life. So sometimes I think we could conduct ourselves with a little more humility.

Imparting knowledge is only lighting other men's candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame.

If we don't empower ourselves with knowledge then we're gonna be led down a garden path.

We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.

There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves or we know where we can find information upon it.

Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so knowledge remains better than ignorance.

In Spain we should have enough intelligence enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.

But once you are in that field emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job.

There are unknown forces in nature when we give ourselves wholly to her without reserve she lends them to us she shows us these forms which our watching eyes do not see which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.

A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it.
