You can tell the quality of a person by how they treat people they don't need.

Realize that the world is your own projection. Everything you see is projected by you on the screen of your own consciousness. What you are seeing will be as you have painted it, good or bad, ugly or beautiful; it is your choice. But you are not bound by your projection, you have the power to bring to life your own definition of beauty. No one can force upon you a color you have not chosen. Once you realize this, you will have the freedom to live the full, rich life you want for yourself.

I know I already answered this question but I stumbled across it and have a new answer:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
~ Marianne Williamson

My favorite quote of all time is by Kurt Vonnegut- "Charm was a scheme for making strangers like and trust a person immediately, no matter what the charmer had in mind." from his book Breakfast of Champions but a quote that I live by is "A penny saved is a penny earned." Lastly, I like the quote, "I think therefore I am" which always makes me question who I am and what I am doing before something important.
