Individuality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Individuality

1.
No one should part with their individuality and become that of another.
Channing, William Ellery

2.
Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose; also the first announcement of death.
Conrad, Peter

3.
The trouble with the sacred Individual is that he has no significance, except as he can acquire it from others, from the social whole.
Devoto, Bernard

4.
Follow the crowd and you will never be followed by a crowd.

5.
Each man must have his I; it is more necessary to him than bread; and if he does not find scope for it within the existing institutions he will be likely to make trouble.
Cooley, Charles Horton

6.
Follow your own star!
Dante Alighieri

7.
It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company; they would not have laid the keel yet; and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

8.
Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
Huxley, Aldous

9.
Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.
Einstein, Albert

10.
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Frost, Robert

11.
What is wanted -- whether this is admitted or not -- is nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicating all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

12.
The definition of the individual was: a multitude of one million divided by one million.
Koestler, Arthur

13.
The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves mankind forward.
Sikorsky, Igor

14.
Our expenses are all for conformity.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations.
Kundera, Milan

16.
No one can transcend their own individuality.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

17.
It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations --past and present --are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millennia.
Hoffer, Eric

18.
In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.
Hesse, Hermann

19.
Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.
Cooper, James F.

20.
Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

21.
Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.
Jung, Carl

22.
A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.
Seneca

23.
Be yourself, who else is better qualified?
Giblin, Frank J.

24.
What ever crushes individuality is despotism, no matter what name it is called.
Mill, John Stuart

25.
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Camus, Albert

26.
Never follow the crowd.
Baruch, Bernard M.

27.
Every man must get to Heaven his own way.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

28.
A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Campell, Joseph

30.
Pin your faith to no ones sleeves, haven't you two eyes of your own.
Carlyle, Thomas

31.
If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?
Hillel, Rabbi

32.
Comrades! We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all.
Khrushchev, Nikita

33.
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
Alinsky, Saul

34.
Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.
Gourmont, Remy De

35.
Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; that
Warhol, Andy

36.
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
Ruskin, John

37.
The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.
Duchamp, Marcel

38.
The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

39.
Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse. Mediocrity finds safety in standardization.
Crane, Frederick E.

40.
America is not anything if it consists of each of us. It is something only if it consists of all of us.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

41.
Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb.
Lapham, Lewis H.

42.
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
Francis De Sales, St.

43.
The nail that sticks up will be hammered down.
Proverb, Japanese

44.
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
Picasso, Pablo

45.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
