Selfishness Quotes - Page 2

You had once asked me if I was afraid of death. I said I was afraid of not living. I don’t want to eke out my life like a resource in short supply. The only selfish life is a timid one. To hold back, to withdraw, to keep the best in reserve, both overvalues the self, and undervalues what the self is.

Jeanette Winterson

If the entire world sought to make itself worthy of happiness rather than make itself happy, then the entire world would be happy.

I Am In Love With Myself, With My Heart.

Nirav Sanchaniya

A compass calibrated by my greed is a rather shrewd way to legitimize my agenda. However, true north on a compass such as this is a straight line to the edge of a really big cliff.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

As individuals die every moment, how insensitive and fabricated a love it is to set aside a day from selfish routine in prideful, patriotic commemoration of tragedy.

God favors men and women who delight in being made worthy of happiness before the happiness itself.

Glory of the world makes life meaningless. Glory of God fulfills it.
