Human history is the sad result of
each one looking out for himself.
?Julio Cortazar
You have no idea how promising the world
begins to look once you have decided to have
it all for yourself. And how much healthier
your decisions are once they
become entirely selfish.
?Anita Brookner
The human being who lives only for himself
finally reaps nothing but unhappiness.
Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles,
satisfies. Don't put off the joy derivable from
doing helpful, kindly things for others.
?B. C. Forbes
SELFISH, adj. Devoid of consideration
for the selfishness of others.
?Ambrose Bierce
The force of selfishness is as inevitable and
as calculable as the force of gravitation.
?Hailliard
Men are not against you; they
are merely for themselves.
?Gene Fowler
Selfishness, not love, is the actuating
motive of the gallant.
?Mme. Roland
Those who live to the future must
always appear selfish to
those who live to the present.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who lives only to benefit himself confers
on the world a benefit when he dies.
?Tertullian
