Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise. Lewis Carroll
About This Quote

This quote by Edmund Burke, is about the importance of self-improvement. There are only two things that are true for every person in the world. Whether you are happy or unhappy depends on how you see yourself. If you are unhappy with yourself, it is because you are not satisfied with the way that you see yourself. To be content with what you have, you must learn to live with your circumstances, to accept them and move forward without complaint.
