Lois McMaster Bujold: "Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself."

Don't confuse having less with being less, having more with being more, what you have with who you are.

And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.

Every time you choose yourself, you build trust with yourself.
