Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes will I find on this "self" quotes collection?
This page gathers quotes exploring identity and self-perception -- from reflective lines about who we really are to cautionary ones about ego.

Do any of the quotes here warn against too much self-pride?

One older-style quote describes "A discontented young fellow, filled with self pride; he certainly should have considered it an honor to be sent on so respectable an embassy as he was" -- a reminder that pride can blind someone to a genuine opportunity. Browse more reflective lines on our Growth quotes page.
Is there a quote here connecting "self" to a diagnosis or health struggle?
