When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
Resolve to be thyself: and know that he who finds himself, loses his misery.
