The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.

Don’t be concerned with other people’s impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.

It’s not the appearance, it’s the essence. It’s not the money, it’s the education. It’s not the clothes, it’s the class.

The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.

Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.
