Selfish Quotes

... Good leaders wait to be called and they give up their power when they are no longer needed. Selfish men and fools put themselves first and keep their power until someone throws them out. It is no good to have a way where selfish men and fools fight with each other to be leaders, while the good ones watch Picture Quote #1

It’s funny. I’m attracted to things that don’t have any impact on life. People say I’ve done a great thing for women. I don’t think I have. People say I’ve given people courage. That makes me feel good, but I don’t see how I do that. I think my running is a selfish thing. But it provides the challenge that allows me to feel good about myself. How can I expect to do well in other activities if I don’t feel good about myself? Picture Quote #1

Ultimately there can be no freedom for self unless it is vouchsafed for others; there can be no security where there is fear, and a democratic society presupposes confidence and candor in the relations of men with one another and eager collaboration for the larger ends of life instead of the pursuit of petty, selfish or vainglorious aims Picture Quote #1

Basketball can serve as a kind of metaphor for ultimate cooperation. It is a sport where success, as symbolized by the championship, requires that the dictates of community prevail over selfish impulses Picture Quote #1

Loyalty cannot be too liberally insisted upon. Altruism in nature remains an exception. It poses a puzzle, being in prima facie conflict with the survival of the fittest and most selfish Picture Quote #1

People always tend to chose what is best for them. They pretend to be unselfish, all so that they can feel good about themselves. Even that really is a selfish decision Picture Quote #1

Ordinary love is selfish, darkly rooted in desires and satisfactions. Divine love is without condition, without boundary, without change. The flux of the human heart is gone forever at the transfixing touch of pure love Picture Quote #1

From afar, it seems like a war without a solution and like a long sacrifice for the entire country. So when a president appears who tries to open a path to peace, I think that deserves support, because there is a lot of pain, and if they try to settle scores, the war will never end. But there is an opportunity. I would feel selfish if I did not help in any way Picture Quote #1

If the people are to be the final tribunal then they must vote for what is right rather than according to their own selfish interests, else we are treading the path of danger Picture Quote #1

We’re a part of nature. As we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. It’s a selfish thing to want to protect nature Picture Quote #1

In this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog Picture Quote #1

People think that you are a nasty, selfish person if you don’t want to have children Picture Quote #1

Marriage is just an elaborate game that allows two selfish people to periodically feel that they’re not Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel like I would be a good mentor. I don’t know what I have to offer in that respect. I do this for pretty selfish reasons Picture Quote #1

Love is not selfish or unkind. Nor is it boastful or disloyal. Love is simply a deep feeling found within the heart that money cannot buy Picture Quote #1

Anorexia taught me to love life and to realise that starving yourself to death is a bloody waste of time. It’s awful and it hurts so many people around you. It’s a terribly selfish thing to do Picture Quote #1

Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money, not for selfish aggrandizement, not for the evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man can be Picture Quote #1

Atheists anger doesn’t prove that we’re selfish, or joyless, or miserable. It shows that we have compassion, and a sense of justice. We’re angry because we see terrible harm all around us, and we feel desperately motivated to stop it Picture Quote #1

It is just as foolish to complain that people are selfish and treacherous as it is to complain that the magnetic field does not increase unless the electric field has a curl. Both are laws of nature Picture Quote #1

We just played unselfishly. At times this year, we’ve played selfish, but today we passed the ball... We were just very supportive of each other Picture Quote #1

No knowledge, however thorough and extensive, no brilliance and perspicuity, no dialectic sophistication, will preserve us from the commmonness of thought and will. It is truly not the merit of the school if we do not come out selfish Picture Quote #1

Moral evil is the immorality and pain and suffering and tragedy that come because we choose to be selfish, arrogant, uncaring, hateful and abusive Picture Quote #1

We have the ability to effect a great positive change in the world, starting with the training of our own minds and the overcoming of our deluded conditioning. Waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness; it is a revolutionary stance from the inside out, for the benefits of all beings in existence Picture Quote #1

Writing is a demanding profession and a selfish one. And because it is selfish and demanding, because it is compulsive and exacting, I didn’t embrace it. I succumbed to it Picture Quote #1

My feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son’s perspective Picture Quote #1

Selfish men were... trying to make capital for themselves out of the sacred cause of civil rights Picture Quote #1

If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences. This isn’t being political, it is being selfish Picture Quote #1

It is easy to love friends and sweethearts. This is selfish love. Higher love embraces enemies and all ugly, bad people. The highest love doesn’t see goodness or badness at all. One should even love warmongers, bad food producers and priests Picture Quote #1

I resolve to be more patient, less selfish, cherish my friends, and in my small way help whoever needs help. I cannot conceivably influence the world’s destiny, but I can make my own life more worthwhile. I can give some help to some people; that is not vital to all the world’s problems and yet, I think if everyone did just that, we might see quite a world in our time! Picture Quote #1

I think that people who don’t like animals tend to be selfish, but I’m biased Picture Quote #1
