If you let society and your peers define who you are, you're the less for it.

In a society that tries to standardize thinking, individuality is not highly prized.

We do all, myself included, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty low standards. But when it comes to judging public figures or politicians or people we've never met, we tend to hold people to very high standards, and, if we held ourselves to those standards, we'd always fall short.

I think that everyone in this world should be confident in who they are and believe in themselves no matter what.

Not everyone's high standards have to be the same thing.

Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others.

I feel that the world is increasingly about the bottom line, and not so much about human respect or human dignity. In that regard, people who care about other people will not be in a position to make choices and do things that other people who they're competing against will get to do.

If we can be the best people we are as individuals, then that's the way to change the world.

I think the greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
