I will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.

When a person looks at himself, he is likely to misjudge what he finds. He sees only his intentions. Most people have good intentions and hence conclude that whatever they are doing is good. It is difficult for an individual to objectively judge his actions, which may be, and often are, contradictory to his good intentions.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.

If you think about human nature, our favourite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favourite thing is the newest thing that we have...and the thing we've seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously that's going to be our least favourite thing.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.
