"If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." 

-Gautama Buddha

"Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!"
-Marcus Aurelius

"Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it & let it be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you." 

-Eckhart Tolle

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect." 

-Mark Twain
