One must know oneself. proverb

 One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life, and there is nothing better.
  Blaise Pascal

 One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life, and there is nothing better.
  Blaise Pascal

 Besides the huge first serve, he's actually improved his service games. Last year, he finished sixth in first-serve percentage, which is unheard-of for a guy with that big a serve. Andy did a much better job of mixing his first serve, not always trying to hit the 140 or 150 mph serve. He can do so much with it, in terms of the kick serve, moving it around a little bit more. ... It's going to help him get a higher percentage of first serves in, and it's going to be tougher for guys to break him.

 To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
  Albert Camus

 On her serves, I was barely making a point, ... She was getting her first serves in and varying pretty well, so I had trouble reading her serve.

 When you boil it down, life is made up of our minute-to-minute experiences. He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him. And once we begin to become more aware, at some point we discover a fundamental truth: life is not positive or negative, it just is.

 You always try - you always serve the truth. But again - but the truth is often, you know, is often not necessarily a solid. It can be a liquid... What seems to be true is not necessarily the case when we look at it and we dissect it and take it apart, and we turn it around and we look at it from a different perspective... Whose truth are we talking about, your truth or my truth?

 It is a strange and long war, the war that violence is forever waging against truth. All the efforts of violence are powerless to weaken truth, and serve only to make it stronger. All the lights of truth are powerless to stop violence, and serve only
  Blaise Pascal

 From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasant
  Dalai Lama

 When one serves dinner for four friends, one might serve caviar. But when one serves dinner for 400 friends, one would more likely serve hot dogs.

 There is no other way of guarding oneself against flattery than by letting men understand that they will not offend you by speaking the truth; but when everyone can tell you the truth, you lose their respect.
  Niccolo Machiavelli

 Where misunderstanding serves others as an advantage, one is helpless to make oneself understood
  Lionel Trilling

 A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

  James Allen

 Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. More than anything... it calls for confidence in oneself...And how can we generate this imponderable quality most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
  Virginia Woolf

 It started a whole new chapter in my life to discover my father was gay, ... I think it's very hard to discover that everything you thought you knew up to the age of 14 is out the window.
