Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. [Ger., Das Betragen ist ein Spiegel in welchem jeder sein Bild zeigt.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.

The purer the artist's 'mirror' is, the more true reality reflects in it. Overseeing the historical culture of art, we must conclude that the mirror only slowly is purified. Time producing this purifying shows a gradual, more constant and objective image of reality.

Piet Mondrian

[Even the mechanism can be endowed with an image. Thus] the thermostat has an image of the outside world in the shape of information regarding its temperature. It has also a value system in the sense of the ideal temperature at which it is set. Its behavior is directed towards the receipt of information which will bring its image and its value systems together.

Kenneth E. Boulding

We act, we behave, and we feel the vibration that we're in at the present time according to what we consider our self image to be. And we do not deviate from that pattern. The image you hold of yourself is a premise, a foundation (idea) on which your entire personality is built. This image, not only controls your behavior but your circumstances as well.

Maxwell Maltz

Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.

Byron Katie

One's self-image and image of the future have a great deal to do with what that person is motivated to do and able to do, as well as the extent to which he is able to change his behavior.

Ellis Paul Torrance

I always mistrust everything I see, which an image shows me, because I imagine what is beyond it. And what is beyond an image cannot be known.

Michelangelo Antonioni

Behaviour is the mirror in which we can display our image.

Mahatma Gandhi

Dreams are only the image of outward things shown on an inward mirror. But the mirror is the soul's enclosing darkness.

Maude Meagher

The world is a mirror into which we look, and see our own image.

John Lancaster Spalding

A mirror reflects what you see, and a black mirror shows the dark side of it.

Madeline Brewer

The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original.
