be yourself

it's been so long since i posted quotes, so i thought i'd post a few i found at The Quote Garden.

today a few on being yourself...

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings

You were born an original. Don't die a copy. ~John Mason

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Why try to be someone you're not? Life is hard enough without adding impersonation to the skills required. ~Robert Brault
