Things People Said: Others and Ourselves

Things People Said

A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• Anger
• Anger
• Start Small
• Watching the watchers
• Smile
• Careful
• Press On
• Intimacy
• Look up
• Piano and Discovery

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

Others and Ourselves

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.

-- Eric Hoffer
