“"Me", "Myself" and "Mine" - Holy Trinity of selfishness.”
Kazimierz Matan
“Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.”
Charles de Gaulle
“They let the whole country down. Their egoism was their downfall as this group of outstanding individuals failed to blend into a team and produce the top quality basketball they're capable of. The team chemistry was poor from the start of the preparation period and their long nights out until the early morning hours certainly didn't help.”
Zeljko Obradovic
“I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.”
Albert Einstein
“Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.”
Helen Rowland
“Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Thing for masses does not have a soul. Everything for masses is designed for stamped people with wooden heads. Wood is not the most suitable material for heads of persons with special tastes.”
