Be yourself, but always your better self.

It's a funny thing, how it works...
The moment we stop trying so hard to be someone, we become ourselves--only what was there all along, waiting and peeking out from behind all the masks we wore.
And when this happens, we discover that Who We Really Are is much greater than anything we might have pretended or even hoped to be.

Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention.

Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.

The little things, I can obey. The big things—how we think, what we value—those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone—or any society—determine those for you.

Before you can be anything, you have to be yourself. That's the hardest thing to find.
