Size does matter: Try to surround yourself with people who are blessed with a big heart. ~ Raphael Cohen-Almagor
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Raphael Cohen-Almagor
In the end, what you do isn't going to be nearly as interesting or important as who you do it with. ~ John Green
Surround Yourself With People quotes by John Green
Surround yourself with people too afraid to speak, and you left yourself to only your own ideas. That could be disastrous. It was important to have men who would question you and see flaws in your plans, so long as you could control them. It was all about control. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Who do you want to surround yourself with? People who can pull you up to their level of greatness? Or people who will happily pull you down to theirs? ~ Dan Pearce
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Dan Pearce
I'm merely reminding you to embrace who you are and surround yourself with people who do the same. ~ Tamara Ireland Stone
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Tamara Ireland Stone
The easiest way to thrive as an outlier is to avoid being one. At least among your most treasured peers. Surround yourself with people in at least as much of a hurry, at least as inquisitive, at least as focused as you are. ~ Seth Godin
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Seth Godin
You have to dream big and go for it. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and ignore those who try to bring you down. Never give up, no matter what - overcoming obstacles makes you stronger! ~ Shannon MacMillan
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Shannon MacMillan
I've never been satisfied with myself, ever. But I feel good about myself, because I'm truthful. I don't corrupt myself. I'm also a perfectionist. I'm very impatient. I've got energy and drive and I can't stand inefficiency in people. And I can't stand dumb people. Why surround yourself with people who are going to tie you down? I don't suffer fools. ~ Jack LaLanne
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jack LaLanne
Believing in yourself when no one else does is lonely. Surround yourself with people who believe in you. The alternative is eventual insanity. ~ Penfist
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Penfist
Locate things that motivate you and surround yourself with people that inspire you ~ Sunday Adelaja
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are. ~ Tony Vincent
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Tony Vincent
In times of war, as in life, surround yourself with people of value, virtue and high morals, because it's always better to lose, perish and vanish in glory than to live in shame. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Robin Sacredfire
I remembered learning from my favorite professor at Belmont to "surround yourself with people who are better than you," and I was now living that mantra. ~ Kimberly Novosel
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Kimberly Novosel
If you want to heal your heart surround yourself with people that won't tell you hating other people is how you get over being hurt. Surround yourself with people that will tell you to be more like Christ and reach out to those you don't understand or are offended by. Bitter insecure and anxious people will tell you everything you need to hear to help you move on, but very little of it will be the true teachings of Christ. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Shannon L. Alder
When you hang out with whiners, pessimists, tweakers, bleakers, freakers-outers, and life-is-so-unfairers, it's an uphill climb to keep yourself in a positive headspace. Stay away from people who see limitless possibility as the reality. Surround yourself with people who act on their big ideas, who take action on making positive change in the world and who see nothing as out of their reach. ~ Jen Sincero
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jen Sincero
Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Laughter is to the soul what sunshine is to a flower. ~ Peggy Toney Horton
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Peggy Toney Horton
It is easy to surround yourself with people who think in the same ways, believe the same ideas, and live life in similar patterns. Many communities are made up of the same kind of people to the extent that we intentionally have to seek people whose stories are completely different from ours. ~ Holly Sprink
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Holly Sprink
Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, colours, sounds and work that nourish your soul ~ SARK
Surround Yourself With People quotes by SARK
Having the right perspective is tough when you're alone. Surround yourself with people who will help you see things you cannot readily see. ~ Clifton Anderson
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Clifton Anderson
The Proverbs 31 woman is a star not because of what she does but how she does it - with valor. So do your thing. If it's refurbishing old furniture - do it with valor. If it's keeping up with your two-year-old - do it with valor. If it's fighting against human trafficking ... leading a company ... or getting other people to do your work for you - do it with valor. Take risks. Work hard. Make mistakes. Get up the next morning. And surround yourself with people who will cheer you on. ~ Rachel Held Evans
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rachel Held Evans
Surround yourself with people who support you. Find champions. ~ Sarah Gavron

Surround Yourself With People quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves. ~ Colin Powell

3. In every conquest find a way to be victorious. ~ Daniel Corey
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Daniel Corey
Surround yourself with people who love life and learn. ~ Lorii Myers
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Lorii Myers
The worst thing you can do in life is to surround yourself with people who can dream or talk without a back up action towards their dreams. Easy way to know them: they easily talk about the failures and inability of others been helpful to society and humanity at large. While they are the worst version it. They live a hypocritical life to get praises from the society. Those kind of people are worst than the Devil. ~ Dunu Stanley
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Dunu Stanley
Dream big and surround yourself with people that believe in you ~ Shannon MacMillan
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Shannon MacMillan
I've had a pretty good lesson in human nature. It's more important to try to surround yourself with people who can give you a little happiness, because you only pass through this life once, Jack. You don't come back for an encore. ~ Elvis Presley
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Elvis Presley
It's not always easy to find the motivation to push yourself to higher limits. But when you surround yourself with people who inspire you, you'll find that their attitudes and their outlook on life are contagious. You will learn from their mistakes and their successes. You will gain a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, which will only help you grow and get you closer to your own goals. ~ Anonymous
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Anonymous
If you build a life that is separate from people who experience great need, you will always struggle to be a generous person. In large part, the people closest to us determine what we desire. So surround yourself with people who are in need, and you will desire to meet needs. Surround yourself with people living in excess, and your desires will become even more excessive. ~ Jeff Shinabarger
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jeff Shinabarger
If we surround ourselves with people who are successful, who are forward-moving, who are positive, who are focused on producing results, who support us, it will challenge us to be more and do more and share more. If you can surround yourself with people who will never let you settle for less than you can be, you have the greatest gift that anyone can hope for. ~ Tony Robbins
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Tony Robbins
You are who you are. Don't be ashamed of yourself. At all. Surround yourself with people who cheer you on. ~ Jessica Park
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jessica Park
Along with trustworthiness, consistency is the thing to look for when you surround yourself with people who can help you on your quest. ~ Michael Johnson
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Michael Johnson
You just have to surround yourself with people who are going to support and love you before trying to sell you as a product, or push you into something you don't want to do. ~ Jamie Bell
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jamie Bell
In all aspects of life, it's always much funner when you surround yourself with people you enjoy being around. ~ Rob Dyrdek
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rob Dyrdek
Make yourself happy and surround yourself with people who are cool with that. ~ Larry Winget
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Larry Winget

Surround Yourself With People quotes by Karen Kain
Pride entices us to favor people who build up our egos. Everyone wants to feel accepted and loved. The best way to rid your life of pride is to surround yourself with people who care for you for the right reasons and not just to stroke your ego. Pride is ~ Charles F. Stanley
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Charles F. Stanley

Surround Yourself With People quotes by Mario Andretti
I think that when you decide to dedicate yourself to creative endeavors and surround yourself with people who are creative, you very quickly learn how hard it is to survive doing those kinds of things, not to mention make a living at them. ~ Oscar Isaac
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Oscar Isaac
This is your life. If you are not who you want to be, change it! It won't be easy and it may take some time, but surround yourself with people who love and support you and go for it! No regrets! Only you dwell on your failures. Good luck and remember the inner strength you'll achieve from adopting a healthy lifestyle far supersedes anything physical. ~ Jamie Eason
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jamie Eason
I think the only way you learn is to surround yourself with people that are better than you. ~ Mickey Sumner
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Mickey Sumner
Pain is inevitable in life," Color says. "The point isn't to avoid it. The point is to surround yourself with people who catch you when you fall ~ Rebekah Crane
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rebekah Crane
I often think of a quote from entrepreneur Jim Rohn: 'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.' Surround yourself with people who are doing interesting things, who are thinking interesting thoughts, who challenge you to be better, and who come from a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences. That, combined with appropriate moments of 'me' time, provides the perfect breeding ground for great ideas. And whatever you do, don't get hung up on what competitors are doing. Be aware of what's going on in the industry, but don't let it dictate your own creative process. ~ Alexis Ohanian
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Alexis Ohanian
Surround yourself with people that you know will take care of you. It's not so much a mistake advice - it's just advice advice. ~ Hannah Hart
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Hannah Hart
You're not going to be great at everything. Surround yourself with people that can compliment you so you can work together and then everybody can be successful. ~ Jonathan Tisch
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jonathan Tisch
Be kind today ... to yourself, remember to be a good friend to yourself, accept that you're doing your best, love your perfect imperfections, be mindful of what you need and give it to yourself, and surround yourself with people who honor, love and cherish you for who you are. ~ Ian Lawton
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Ian Lawton
Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it. ~ Andrew Stanton
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Andrew Stanton
If you truly want to change, then decide today that you will not view yourself as a victim, you not allow yourself to be treated as a victim and you will not surround yourself with people who view themselves as victims. ~ Charles F. Glassman
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Charles F. Glassman
Are You Listening Attentively? There's so much power in listening! I challenge you to listen more. Really pay attention to what people are saying. What are they REALLY talking about? Many times we overlook and/or make excuses for people's conversations. Don't allow people to dump garbage in your spirit. What we listen to can have a negative effect on what, and how, we think. Be choosy about the relationships you entertain. Surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. People that are positive, inspiring, and genuine. Remember: Value your time! Don't waste it on dead-end and/or fake relationships. ~ Stephanie Lahart
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Stephanie Lahart
Value all relationships for the lessons they teach. Make sure you learn the lessons well. If not you will repeat those mistakes over and over.
Focus on the kind of relationship you do want! Surround yourself with people who manifest those characteristics. Avoid and eliminate negativity at all cost.
Become a producer of that which is positive.
Look for the good in every situation and praise it. talk about it & be about it. Be about only good things.Create and manifest around you joy and peace and happiness. Let the presence of God be your model. Gods' kingdom consists of 3 things, righteousness, peace and joy in Gods words. When you become a positive producer, you will begin to attract what you produced
positives! ~ Stella Payton
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Stella Payton
Surround Yourself with Others Who Are Already Doing What You Want to Do

My all-time favorite success tip for people who tend to hesitate excessively is to regularly interact with people who are already successfully doing what you want to do. Why will this help you moderate your tortoise tendencies? Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors all tend to be socially contagious. Therefore, if you surround yourself with people who are already acting in the ways you need to act, this will likely rub off on you. You'll be more likely to take action.
Another key reason for interacting with others who are already succeeding in your field is that many of the key pieces of information that will help you succeed won't be shared in books or other public forums. They're likely passed from person to person. You'll get to know these insider secrets only by befriending successful people. ~ Alice Boyes
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Alice Boyes
But, I've learned, as we all must, that adults are jerks too. At least some of them. And that's why I feel so strongly that if you have the opportunity to surround yourself with people who aren't jerks, you should not just take it, but grab it, seize it, squeeze the living hell out of it. ~ Clinton Kelly
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Clinton Kelly
Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth. Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world - you don't need to be your own worst enemy. ~ Lucy Hale
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Lucy Hale
You can't build any kind of organization if you're not going to surround yourself with people who have experience and skill base beyond your own. ~ Howard Schultz
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Howard Schultz
If you surround yourself with people that fill in your inadequacies then together you fulfill the world. ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
It's the choices you make that construct your future. You can choose to become a victim or you can choose to make decisions that empower you. Surround yourself with people who support your vision so you can keep your focus, and your energy! ~ Rashmi Bansal
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rashmi Bansal
If you want to coach you have three rules to follow to win. One, surround yourself with people who can't live without football. I've had a lot of them. Two, be able to recognize winners. They come in all forms. And, three, have a plan for everything. A plan for practice, a plan for the game. A plan for being ahead, and a plan for being behind 20-0 at half, with your quarterback hurt and the phones dead, with it raining cats and dogs and no rain gear because the equipment man left it at home. ~ Bear Bryant
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Bear Bryant
Don't surround yourself with people who just affirm you. Surround yourself with people who challenge you. ~ Tony Robbins
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Tony Robbins
Always work with/surround yourself with people who help make you a better version of you. Kindly avoid those who don't. ~ Don Roff
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Don Roff
Never surround yourself with people who are envious of your ambitions. Decide to be at the right place at the right time and save yourself for greater opportunities. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Surround yourself with people smarter than you. ~ Maggie Wilderotter
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Maggie Wilderotter
I noticed how the band members watched her and how she made them smile and I realized that she was the kind of person who changed the feeling in a room, so that others suddenly feel that they are in the right place. Is that the secret of life, to surround yourself with people who are so full of passion, people who know sadness but not bitterness? I looked into her face, which was alive with excitement, and then into her eyes, which were full of all the things you can only say with your eyes. ~ Jonathan Hull
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jonathan   Hull
Surround yourself with people strong enough to change your mind. ~ John Wooden
Surround Yourself With People quotes by John Wooden
Don't you dare, for one second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are. ~ Jo Blackwell Preston
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jo Blackwell Preston
Always surround yourself with people who are better than you. If you're hanging around bad people, they're going to start bringing you down ... But, if you surround yourself with good people, they're going to be pulling you up. ~ Donny Osmond
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Donny Osmond
People are complicated. There is so much more to everybody than you realize. You see someone in school everyday, or at work, in the canteen, and you share a cigarette of a coffee with them, and you talk about the weather or last night's air raid. But you don't talk so much about what was the nastiest thing you ever said to your mother, or how you pretended to be David Balfour, the hero of Kidnapped, for the whole of the year when you were 13, or what you imagine yourself doing with the pilot who looks like Leslie Howard if you were alone in his bunk after a dance. ~ Elizabeth Wein
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Elizabeth Wein
Don't suppose that I think you are right, Tom, or that I bow to your will. I despise the feelings you have shown in speaking to Philip – I detest your insulting unmanly allusions to his deformity. You have been reproaching people all your life – you have always been sure you yourself are right: it is because you have not a mind large enough to see that there is anything better than your own conduct and your own petty aims. […] I don't want to defend myself –" said Maggie, still with vehemence: "I know I have been wrong – often, continually. But yet, sometimes when I have done wrong, it has been because I have feeling that you would be the better for if you had them. If you were in fault ever – if you had done anything very wrong, I should be sorry for the pain it brought you – I should not want punishment to be heaped on you. But you have always enjoyed punishing me – you have always been hard and cruel to me – even when I was a little girl, and always loved you better that any one else in the world, you would let me go crying to bed without forgiving me. You have no pity – you have no sense of your own imperfections and your own sins. It is a sin to be hard – it is not fitting for a mortal – for a Christian. You are nothing but a Pharisee. You thank God for nothing but your own virtues – you think they are great enough to win you everything else. You have not even a vision of feelings by the side of which your shining virtues are mere darkness! […] You boast of your virtues ~ George Eliot
Surround Yourself With People quotes by George Eliot
According to one Harvard study, we spend nearly 50 percent of our waking time thinking about something other than what we're really supposed to be doing. And perhaps that's the main reason the universe is not helping you in achieving what you want because you yourself are not clear & based on your deliriums, wildness & inattentions it is simply not clear what you want. How the hell anyone for that matter would come to know what you want unless you consistently, relentlessly work towards it. Let you remind yourself that your reality exists only in your mind & nowhere else. It is you who tell to universe what is important to you, what you believe, what you fear & what you are focused on. If you are focused, committed, hopeful & positive, you are presented with more relevant solutions instead of problems, more good news instead of bad news & more good people instead of negative people. Otherwise your ambiguousness will surely hold you from reaching the next levels of fulfillment, happiness & success. Let you soon create habits, lifestyle, practices that signal to yourself, your world & obviously to universe that you are in distraction-free mode & allow the universe to respond to your momentum with more & bless you far more abundantly than all you want & deserve. Stay Focused, Wholehearted & Work Hard! ~ Rajesh Goyal
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rajesh Goyal
Ask yourself, 'Who are the secure ones, the comfortable, the eternally cheerful?' I'll tell you the answer: only those with dull vision-the common people and the children ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
No one can learn to love by following a manual and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm. ~ Paulo Coelho
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Paulo Coelho
Although it is embarrassing and painful, it is very healing to stop hiding from yourself. It is healing to know all the ways that you're sneaky, all the ways that you hide out, all the ways that you shut down, deny, close off, criticize people, all your weird little ways. You can know all of that with some sense of humor and kindness. By knowing yourself, you're coming to know humanness altogether. We are all up against these things. We are all in this together. ~ Pema Chodron
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Pema Chodron
Wow," Wesley said. We were lying in his bed only a few minutes after we'd finished, with a foot or more space between our bodies. "I definitely wasn't expecting that."
God, he ruined everything when he talked. Annoyed, and still wading through the emotional repercussions, I sneered. "What? Ashamed that you screwed the Duff?"
"No." I was surprised by how serious he sounded. "I'm never ashamed of anyone I sleep with. Sex is a natural chemical reaction. It always happens for a reason. Who am I to dictate who experiences the joy of sharing my bed?" He didn't see me roll my eyes as he continued. "No, I just meant that I'm shocked. I was honestly starting to believe that you hated me."
"I do hate you," I assured him, kicking off the covers and moving to pick up my clothes.
"You must not hate me too much," Wesley said, rolling onto his elbow and watching me dress. "You did pretty much throw yourself at me. Generally, hatred doesn't inspire that kind of passion."
I pulled on my T-shirt. "Believe me, Wesley, I definitely hate you. I was just using you. You use people all the time, so I'm sure you understand." I buttoned my jeans and grabbed my alligator clip from the nightstand. "This was fun, but if you ever tell anyone, I swear I'll castrate you. ~ Kody Keplinger
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Kody Keplinger
Where do you need to think for yourself? When we begin to cultivate awareness of our thoughts and emotions, we begin to see just how much we live according to other people's and society's beliefs and actions. Don't get upset by this. Just get in touch with how you really think and feel inside and begin to express your authenticity. ~ Alan Keightley
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Alan Keightley
Your immune systems are comprised of all parts of the eco-system you know as yourself, and include not only every part of you, from your conscious and subconscious thoughts to your physical body systems, but also how you live and function in relationship with the larger ecosystems that surround you. ~ Robin Rose Bennett
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Robin Rose Bennett
Peter sighed into the water, and his breath sent a small circle of it into tiny ripples. "It seems cowardly, getting old. Don't you think?"
She rolled onto her side to look at him, pillowing her ear with her right arm, and letting her fingers dangle in the water beyond her head. "How is it cowardly?"
Peter kept his eyes on his reflection. "You just curl up around yourself, and sit by the fire, and try to be comfortable. When you get old, you just get smaller inside, and you try not to pay attention to anything but your blankets and your food and your bed."
"Being comfortable is not a bad thing."
Peter shrugged and turned his head to look at her as if it was a matter of fact. "Of course it is. Old people lock out all the scary, wild things. It's like they don't exist."
She wanted to say that she would have liked for those things not to exist, either, but she held her tongue, because she didn't want to sound like a coward. ~ Jodi Lynn Anderson
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Surround yourself with books and objects that you love. Tape things up on the wall. Create your own world. ~ Austin Kleon
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Austin Kleon
You have to be really comfortable with yourself because people are going to tell you that you're eyes are too brown or you're this or you're that. And if you're not comfortable with yourself, you could get pretty freaked out. ~ Brie Larson
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Brie Larson
Part of my success with urban bachata is reinventing yourself as an artist and continuing to give people different kind of fusions, mixing up the elements and concepts without changing the beat. ~ Romeo Santos
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Romeo Santos
The reason why most of our plans fail it is because when people are giving us a hand in what we do. We have our hands in our pockets or folded. 80 % is on you to make things happen. When people help you they help you with 20 %. If you don't have 80 % percent ready. Your dreams, goals or what you are trying to achieve, will fail even thou there are people helping you. Help yourself with 80 percent, before people help you with 20 percent to achieve your goals and dreams. ~ De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Surround Yourself With People quotes by De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Like most people, you are not able to face more than one fear during your lifetime. You also spend your life fleeing from your first fear towards your first hope. Be careful that you do not, through your own wiliness, end up always in the same position in which you began. I do not advise you to spend your life surrounding yourself with those things which you term necessary to your existence, regardless of whether or not they are objectively interesting in themselves or even to your own particular intellect. I believe sincerely that only those men who reach the stage where it is possible for them to combat a second tragedy within themselves, and not the first over and over again, are worthy of being called mature. When you think someone is going ahead, make sure that he is not really standing still. In order to go ahead, you must leave things behind which most people are unwilling to do. Your first pain, you carry it with you like a lodestone in your breast because all tenderness will come from there. You must carry it with you through your whole life but you must not circle around it. You must give up the search for those symbols which only serve to hide its face from you. You will have the illusion that they are disparate and manifold but they are always the same. if you are only interested in a bearable life, perhaps this letter does not concern you. For god's sake, a ship leaving port is still a wonderful thing to see. ~ Jane Bowles
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jane Bowles
In reply to 'how do I flirt with people?':
Just be yourself and not want anything out of anybody. Desire is the killer of all smoothness. ~ Patrick Stump
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Patrick Stump
Surround yourself with the kinds of input that are uplifting, that expand your mind and settle your spirit. ~ Thomas Kinkade
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Thomas Kinkade
You learn to give up what's not working and surround yourself with things you love - not what's correct or proper. ~ Alexandra Stoddard
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Alexandra Stoddard
If you give your people halfhearted leadership, you'll get a halfhearted following. But if you invest yourself in them, if you have a heart for them, your people will return your investment with a heartfelt following. ~ Kevin Leman
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Kevin Leman
How much do people really want to learn? I mean, some people get into a groove and they stay with it indefinitely. And what starts off as a great moment of explosive passion can end up as cabaret 25, 30 years later. It just depends on whether you go and find the right habitat to extend yourself. ~ Robert Plant
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Robert Plant
Be picky about vibes. Be picky about the energy you surround yourself with. You owe yourself that much. ~ Unknown
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Unknown
You will stumble on secrets. Hidden all over the restaurant: Mexican oregano, looking cauterized, as heady as pot. Large tins of Chef's private anchovies from Catalonia hidden behind the bulk olive oil. Quarts of grassy sencha and tiny bullets of stone-ground matcha. Ziplock bags of masa. In certain lockers, bottles of sriracha. Bottles of well whiskey in the dry goods. Bars of chocolate slipped between books in the manager's office.

And people too, with their secret crafts, their secret fluency in other languages. The sharing of secrets is a ceremony, marking kinship. You have no secrets yet, so you don't know what you don't know. But you can intuit it while holding yourself on the skin of the water, treading above deep pockets, faint voices underneath you. ~ Stephanie Danler
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Stephanie Danler
I want to teach you so much that you must know to find happiness within yourself. Yet I don't know where to begin or how. I want you to be a square. That's right, a square! I want you to kiss your grandmother when you walk into the room even if you're with friends ... I want you to lend dignity to the things you believe in and respect for the things you don't believe in. I want you to be a human begin who needs friends, and in turn deserves them. I want you to be a square who polishes his shoes, buttons the top button of his shirt occasionally, and stands straight and looks people in the eye when they are talking to you. There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. I want you to know the difference. ~ Erma Bombeck
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Erma Bombeck
Make for yourself a world you can believe in.
It sounds simple, I know. But it's not. Listen, there are a million worlds you could make for yourself. Everyone you know has a completely different one - the woman in 5G, that cab driver over there, you. Sure, there are overlaps, but only in the details. Some people make their worlds around what they think reality is like. They convince themselves that they had nothing to do with their worlds' creations or continuations. Some make their worlds without knowing it. Their universes are just sesame seeds and three-day weekends and dial tones and skinned knees and physics and driftwood and emerald earrings and books dropped in bathtubs and holes in guitars and plastic and empathy and hardwood and heavy water and high black stockings and the history of the Vikings and brass and obsolescence and burnt hair and collapsed souffles and the impossibility of not falling in love in an art museum with the person standing next to you looking at the same painting and all the other things that just happen and are. But you want to make for yourself a world that is deliberately and meticulously personalized. A theater for your life, if I could put it like that. Don't live an accident. Don't call a knife a knife. Live a life that has never been lived before, in which everything you experience is yours and only yours. Make accidents on purpose. Call a knife a name by which only you will recognize it. Now I'm not a very smart man, but I'm not a d ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect. ~ Rhonda Byrne
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Rhonda Byrne
We habitually erect a barrier called blame that keeps us from communicating genuinely with others, and we fortify it with our concepts of who's right and who's wrong. We do that with the people who are closest to us and we do it with political systems, with all kinds of things that we don't like about our associates or our society.
It is a very common, ancient, well-perfected device for trying to feel better. Blame others ... Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself. Rather than own that pain, we scramble to find some comfortable ground. ~ Pema Chodron
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Pema Chodron
I don't care any more about the handsome wealthy boys who come gingerly into the living room to take out the girl they thought would look nice in an evening cocktail dress ... I said I wanted to go out with them to meet new people. I ask you, what logic is there in that? What guy you would like, would see the depths in a girl outwardly like all the other physical american queenies? So why go places with guys you can't talk to? You'll never meet a soul that way - - - not the sort you want to meet. Better to stay in your garret reading than to go from one party to another. Face it, kid: unless you can be yourself, you won't stay with anyone for long. You've got to be able to talk. That's tough. But spend your nights learning, so you'll have something to say. Something the "attractive intelligent man" will want to listen to. ~ Sylvia Plath
Surround Yourself With People quotes by Sylvia Plath
Do not concern yourself with other people. Concern yourself with your own work alone. ~ Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
