Read through the most famous quotes by topic #selfishness




What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains imortal.


Albert Pine


#make-a-difference #selfishness #inspirational

Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind and so seem smaller, and we increase our capacity for connection - or compassionate action.


Daniel Goleman

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.


Albert Camus


#self-centeredness #selfishness #happy

The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.


Gretchen Rubin

In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul; for the human species, selfishness is extinction.


David Mitchell


#selfishness

Off we skip like the most heartless things in the world, which is what children are, but so attractive; and we have an entirely selfish time, and then when we have need of special attention we nobly return for it, confident that we shall be rewarded instead of smacked.


J.M. Barrie

Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven.
