not for purchases with a value above SGD2000 (those who work within e public sector will understand), but by Carl G Jung:

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakens."

"That which we do not confront in ourselves we will meet as fate."

"It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course, for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusion that veils his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him."
