Power should act and not talk.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maxims and Reflections (via philosophybits)

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

— Thích Nhất Hạnh
