“Man is originally characterized by his 'search for meaning' rather than his 'search for himself.' The more he forgets himself—giving himself to a cause or another person—the more human he is. And the more he is immersed and absorbed in something or someone other than himself the more he really becomes himself.” by Viktor E. Frankl

“Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book.

Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true.

Find out the truth for yourself.

Reason it out.

That is realization.” by Swami Vivekananda

“So you wish to conquer in the Olympic Games, my friend? And I, too… But first mark the conditions and the consequences. You will have to put yourself under discipline; to eat by rule, to avoid cakes and sweetmeats; to take exercise at the appointed hour whether you like it or not, in cold and heat; to abstain from cold drinks and wine at your will. Then, in the conflict itself you are likely enough to dislocate your wrist or twist your ankle, to swallow a great deal of dust, to be severely thrashed, and after all of these things, to be defeated.” by Epictetus

Therefore a man cannot enjoy full happiness, untroubled by turmoil, unless he acts to gain knowledge of the nature of things - Epicurus

Enjoy yourself -- it's later than you think - Socrates

I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance - Socrates

Envy is the ulcer of the soul - Socrates
