I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. I am still pursued by a neurosis about work inherited from my father. A day where one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room, not try to be or do anything whatever. – May Sarton	added by JokerGem 20 days ago
Time offers every man the opportunity to become a warrior, but it takes belief in oneself to turn that opportunity into reality. – Christen Kuikoua	added by ChristenKuikouafans 1 month ago
To love is to sacrifice; therefore, if you know you can't sacrifice, then don't say you love. Love is not just a word but a commitment that demands selflessness and the willingness to prioritize others above oneself – Christen Kuikoua	added by anonymous 4 months ago
To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process – Thomas Sowell	added by Normando 5 months ago
Education is not about acquiring knowledge, but about learning how to think for oneself and apply that knowledge to make a positive difference in the world. – Tom Bilyeu	added by PublicistV.A01 11 months ago
When practicing frame control, one's body language, which subtly reflects one's psychological response throughout a discussion, can have a significant influence on oneself.” – Josh King Madrid	added by JoshKingMadrid 1 year ago
When you have unemployment insurance it helps create financial stability. These states which have abortion bans also have really terrible unemployment insurance systems with really low benefits which do not help one support oneself. – Asha Banerjee	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it. – Dr. Viktor E Frankl	added by JokerGem 1 year ago

We must all be aware that this week Russia could try to do something particularly ugly, something particularly vicious, one of the key tasks of the enemy is to humiliate us, Ukrainians, to devalue our capabilities, our heroes, to spread despair, fear, to spread conflicts... Therefore, it is important never, for a single moment, to give in to this enemy pressure, not to wind oneself up, not to show weakness. – Volodymyr Zelensky	Found on CNN 1 year ago

An important technique to stop the stress response is to ground yourself in the present moment.Stress is often triggered by experiences that are not occurring in the moment, often stemming from past or future events and mind wandering, as such, grounding oneself is an effective technique to relieve stress. There are many techniques to ground yourself in the present moment, and the more you practice them the easier and more natural it will become. – Lin Sternlicht	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. – Oscar Auliq-Ice	added by Auliq-Ice 2 years ago
[My father] taught me with silence. . .to look into myself, to find my own strength, to walk around inside myself in company with my soul. . . . One learns of the pain of others by suffering one’s own pain … by turning inside oneself. . . . It makes us aware of how frail and tiny we are and of how much we must depend upon the Master of the Universe. – Chaim Potok	added by Soulwriter 2 years ago
If someone says that he cares for some individual, community, or cause, but is unwilling to risk harm or danger on his, her, or its behalf, he puts into question the genuineness of his care and concern. Courage, the capacity to risk harm or danger to oneself, has its role in human life because of this connection with care and concern – Alasdair Macintyre	added by Normando 2 years ago
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. – Theodore Dalrymple	added by Normando 2 years ago
When a national discourse paints a passion or an effect, one feels within oneself the truth of what one reads, which was there before, although one did not know it. Hence one is inclined to love him who makes us feel it, for he has not shown us his own riches, but ours. – Blaise Pascal	added by anonymous 2 years ago
To act out of desperation is to act out of instinct. To let oneself get to that point however, is to ignore self-preservation. – Isaac Mashman	added by isaacmashman 3 years ago
People will inevitably make mistakes, which is okay ; we're human and we make mistakes. The trick is to not get stuck in the mistake, but to correct oneself and move on, because it doesn't have to be a big deal or focus of attention. These types of things normalize and destigmatize vocalizing how we want others to refer to us in terms of our gender. – Dulcinea Pitagora	Found on CNN 3 years ago
We are not evading taxes or deceiving the state ... because you are our people. Does anyone steal oneself? – Rami Makhlouf	Found on Reuters 3 years ago
People are saying 'I didn't think I was infected myself'. I want everyone to share the awareness that one should both protect oneself while also avoiding spreading (the virus). – Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
I can't explain it, it doesn't makes sense in light of everything we know about the benefits of helping others versus oneself. – Sonja Lyubomirsky	Found on CNN 4 years ago
The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the President committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Yes, he did, corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's oath of office that I can imagine. – Senate Republican	Found on CNN 4 years ago
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself. – Marcus Aurelius	added by Normando 4 years ago
