We are franker towards others than towards ourselves.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Our attitude towards ourselves should be 'to be satiable in learning' and towards others 'to be tireless in teaching.

Mao Zedong

Solitude makes us tougher towards ourselves and tenderer towards others. In both ways it improves our character.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Conduct yourself towards your parents as you would have your children conduct themselves towards you.

Isocrates

The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.

Swami Vivekananda

Cruelty towards others is always also cruelty towards ourselves.

Paul Tillich

We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.

Watchman Nee

As we educate a child -- removing out of its path those obstacles over which we ourselves, in early days, have stumbled, and strengthening its mind with the aid of our own matured experience -- we, as it were, construct a new and better replica of ourselves, and thus enable the race to move slowly, but surely, forward towards the ultimate goal of existence -- towards perfection.

Leonid Andreyev

We almost always live outside ourselves, and life itself is a continual dispersion. But it's towards ourselves that we tend, as towards a centre around which, like planets, we trace absurd and distant ellipses.

Fernando Pessoa

Man is more sensitive to the contempt that others feel towards him than to the contempt that he feels towards himself.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Christian principles are, admittedly, stricter than the others; but then we think you will get help towards obeying them which you will not get towards obeying the others.

C. S. Lewis

How we view ourselves can often determine the perspective and degree in which we see others and the world around us. Each and every one of us has a view. Such a view, that it can shape the future of others and how they live, dream and look towards the future that we all hope is better and more fruitful than our past. This I believe is a common initiative.

Jeff Mills

Every great work of art has two faces, one towards its own time and one towards future, towards eternity.

Daniel Barenboim

The environment is God's gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor, towards future generations, and towards humanity as a whole.

Pope Benedict XVI

Forgiveness does not mean that we suppress anger; forgiveness means that we have asked for a miracle: the ability to see through mistakes that someone has made to the truth that lies in all of our hearts. Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves. The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
