    “Know thyself.” (Plutarch) This is true. Because if you do not know yourself, you may not who you could really be. You may also make bad decisions and be with the wrong people without knowing yourself.

    “I have never been contained except I made the prison.” (Mari Evans). You are a good person so don’t let that go to waste. don’t let it get to the point were you are put in prison because prison is not a good and happy place to be so whenever you feel sad or depressed or whatever just go to your happy place and be calm.

    I think this quote means that when you say a certain thing to someone and they have it better than you might feel bad about yourself and what you have and don’t have. You should always feel happy about what you have because you will always be looked at like you have the most.
