Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken. (Anonymous)
Apart from this, what goes on in other people's consciousness is, as such, a matter of indifference to us: and in time we get really indifferent to it, when we come to see how superficial and futile are most people's thoughts, how narrow their ideas, how mean their sentiments, how perverse their opinions, and how much of error there is in most of them; when we learn by experience with what depreciation a man will speak of his fellow, when he is not obliged to fear him, or thinks that what he says will not come to his ears. And if ever we have had an opportunity of seeing how the greatest of men will meet with nothing but slight from half-a-dozen blockheads, we shall understand that to lay great value upon what other people say is to pay them too much honour. (Arthur Schopenhauer)

John 21 (NRSVUE): Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them . . . . When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?" Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!"
What an abundance of leisure the person gains who is not looking over at what his neighbor is saying, doing, or thinking, but only at what he himself is doing, in order that he does what is just and respectful of the gods. As Agathon said, do not peer into the darkness of another's character, but run straight toward the finish line without straying from your path. (Marcus Aurelius)
4.18, trans. Jacob Needleman & John Piazza
I have often been amazed at how every person loves himself more than he loves others yet places less value on his own judgment of himself than on the judgments of others concerning him. (Marcus Aurelius)
12.4
Matthew 7: "Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For the judgment you give will be the judgment you get, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye.
Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you."

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. (Anonymous, attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt)
Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer. (Rick and Morty)
Why are people in America wooed by unnecessary forms of affirmation? If you are right, if you are fighting against evil and fighting against lies, you don't need to belong to any other club. Even if it was just you, the club of one would be the only one worth being in. (Douglas Murray)
