The unexamined life is not worth living.
Sometimes, you need to be alone. Not to be lonely, but to enjoy your free time being yourself.
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
In the waters of reflection, clarity appears.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience.
To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
An unexamined life is a tragedy waiting to happen.
We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are.
The only journey is the one within.
Self-reflection is the school of wisdom.
By doubting we come to inquiry, and by inquiry we arrive at truth.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
