"Every day I observe more and more..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.

More on Self Acceptance
“Our problem is that we make the mistake of comparing ourselves to other people. You are not inferior or superior to any human being...You do not determine your success by comparing yourself to others, rather you determine your success by comparing your accomplishments to your capabilities. You are 'number one' when you do the best you can with what you have.”
“You are the only you ... You are the best you. You will always be the second best anyone else.”
“I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.”

“I think no virtue goes with size.”
