More on individuality

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

1900s

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

Maya Angelou

Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.

Without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.

Not all who wander are lost.

J.R.R. Tolkien

'Know thyself' was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, 'Be thyself' shall be written.

We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
