We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. – Albert Einstein

If a man harbors any sort of fear, it percolates through all his thinking, damages his personality, makes him landlord to a ghost. – Lloyd Douglas

Man has a fund of emotional energy which is not all occupied with his self-preservation. This surplus seeks its outlet in the creation of art, for man’s civilization is built upon his surplus. In everyday life, when we are mostly moved by our habits, we are economical in our expression, for then our soul-consciousness is at its low level, it has just volume enough to guide on in accustomed grooves. But when our heart is fully awakened in love, or in other great emotions, our personality is in its flood-tide. – Sir Rabindranath Tagore

Humility is no substitute for a good personality. – Fran Lebowitz

Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. – Erich Fromm
