Selfishness




 All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
  Blaise Pascal

 And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
  William Shakespeare

 Two may keep counsel, putting one away
  William Shakespeare

 A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.
  Oscar Wilde

 All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.
  Oscar Wilde

 All endeavors which are directed to a purely worldly end, contain within themselves the seeds of their own corruption.

 If you're working to make the playing field fair and level, you're working for the wrong reasons. His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure. Work to take the opportunities that arise and use your individual talents to excel at those opportunities.
  Rush Limbaugh

 Live for yourself -- there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more

 Self is ingenious, crooked, and, governed by subtle and snaky desire, admits of endless turnings and qualifications, and the deluded worshippers of self vainly imagine that they can gratify every worldly desire, and at the same time possess the Truth
  James Allen

 Well, I know they've always told you/
Selfishness was wrong/
Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song/

 When men, lost in the devious ways of error and self, have forgotten the "heavenly birth," ... they set up artificial standards by which to judge one another
  James Allen
