SELF-IDENTITY

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~E. E. Cummings

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

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another. ~ William Shakespeare

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go. ~Dr. Seuss
