#egotism

"Don't show a friend your gift, or your bag of money if you still want to maintain your relationship, but if nay, go on, and all you'll see is hate and jealousy, and you'll fight with him in the street like a dog and all you'll feel is regret."

"Never allow your ego to diminish your ability to listen."

"We’re so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks—we’re involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don’t get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?"

"I Am In Love With Myself, With My Heart."

"Having a low opinion of yourself is not 'modesty.' It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not 'egotism.' It's a necessary precondition to happiness and success."

"Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either extreme egotism, selfishness, evil -- or else an absolute ignorance."

"If people were employed at creating heaven on earth, everybody would be happy; instead each one is creating his own heaven by creating hell for others."
