To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
It is wisdom to know others. It is enlightenment to know oneself.
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.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
The greatest wisdom is to get to know oneself.
Life is like a sandwich! Birth as one slice, and death as the other. What you put in-between the slices is up to you. Is your sandwich tasty or sour?
Know the enemy and know yourself.
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself.
One is always in the dark about one's own personality. One needs others to get to know oneself.
To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.
To know oneself is to study oneself in action, which is relationship.
Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study one self in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self evaluation and self revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related.
It is difficult to know oneself, but it isn't easy to paint oneself either.

What is freedom? It consists in two things: to know each his own limitations and accept them - that is the same thing as to know oneself, and accept oneself as one is, without fear, or envy, or distaste; and to recognise and accept the conditions under which one lives, also without fear or envy, or distaste. When you do this, you shall be free.
