If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That's not going to happen if you care only about yourself.

You can get totally messed up trying to please everyone with what you do, but ultimately, you have to please yourself.

You can't live your life trying to please people. You be courteous and you be respectful, but you've got to do things in the way that you want to do them.

All your acts affect all the people, people that you don't even know. So we have to live with responsibility. We have to live knowing that we're not the only ones here and you're affecting somebody else always.

You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.

We all do things where we don't care about other people. And we deal with it in whatever ways we can, denial or make excuses.

Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

When you're in the position I'm in, you have two options: you can either shut yourself off from everybody, from the world, and not live a full life. Or you welcome everybody into your life and occasionally somebody will try to take advantage.

I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.
