"Understand yourself: your temperament, intellect, opinions, emotions. You can’t be master of yourself if you don’t first understand yourself. there are mirrors for the face, but none for the spirit: let discrete self-reflection be yours. And when you cease to care about your eternal image, focus on the inner one to correct and improve it. Know how strong your good sense and perspicacity are for undertaking and evaluate your capacity for overcoming obstacles. Fathom your depths and weigh up your capacity for all things."
– Baltasar Gracian, Maxims (via commonplace-ponderings)
