Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

The real man is the one Unit Existence.

I've got a wonky nose. Is it classical, is it not? That's what's hard work, getting down into the nitty-gritty of who are the human beings behind the front of what they present?

Whether I'm a bit of an old soul or not, I am who I am, and that doesn't change, whether I'm with adults or with my friends.

Being true to yourself really means being true to all the complexities of the human spirit.

There's a magic that comes from playing entirely to who you are. I've got my specialist subject - in the Mastermind sense - and I wouldn't change it, or who I am.

I just feel like people are who they are.

I'm not going to change myself because I think it'll make somebody like me more. And in terms of being a business, I've found that when you're always in the people-pleasing mode, that's the easiest way to lose control of your brand's DNA. I want to sit across from someone who's authentically who they are, even if they're not my personal cup of tea. It's still more comforting than being across from someone who's making moves to please other people!

You are -- your life, and nothing else.

To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.

Look at those words, 'role' and 'model.' Both of those are fake words, to play a role and to model, that's fake. I'm real. Being real, I drink, I hang out, I party

What I am is what I am. Are you what you are - or what?

One of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one's most personal themes-the values, the ideas, styles, colors that are the touchstones of one's own individual life, its real texture and substance.

The secret is to have a sense of yourself, your real self, your unique self. And not just once in a while, or once a day, but all through the day, the week and life.

I keep saying, 'Don't change. Be who you are,' but society is really strong in their opinions.

Either you will be you or you will not be at all.

We all can be only who we are, no more, no less.

Nothing is real if you don't believe in who you are!

She used to say 'You can be whoever you want, even yourself'.... Yeah, I show up knowin exactly who I was and never leave as myself

"To be is to do," says the existentialist. "One only becomes real (human) at the point of action."

The real innovators did their innovating by just being themselves.

No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.

Her work, I really think her work is finding what her real work is and doing it, her work, her own work, her being human, her being in the world.

The real challenge is not simply to survive. Hell, anyone can do that. It’s to survive as yourself, undiminished.

People … don't want to be cured or changed or eliminated. They want to be whoever it is that they've come to be.

You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.
