Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance; but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed.
