Famous quotes with Self-aware

• You have to figure out who the right person is to tell the story. And often, people who are very self-aware will only sound as if they are pontificating if they tell the story.

  Michael McKean
• There are those among us that are driven by what others think. There are those among us that are so consumed with self that others only exist to serve. Then we have those that know not self at all.
