Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish.
Richard Dawkins
Men tend to be selfish.
Caprice Bourret
Next to the young, I suppose the very old are the most selfish.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Of course, the idea of a six months' holiday is enough to make anyone laugh at anything, but I find that besides that I was a good deal harassed and run down, and I am glad to cut off from everything and start fresh. I feel miserably selfish about it all the time.
Richard H. Davis
On a selfish basis, I really enjoy sports and activity.
Alan Thicke
Our state is in crisis. Our people are hurting. Now is the time when we all must resist the traditional, selfish call to protect your own turf at the cost of our state. It is time to leave the corner, join the sacrifice, come to the center of the room and be part of the solution.
Chris Christie
Our true passions are selfish.
Stendhal
People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests.
James Bovard
People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.
Mick Jagger
People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.
Greg LeMond
Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either.
Erich Fromm
Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.
Edward Albert
Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.
Richard Pryor
Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.
Leigh Hunt
That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.
Maria Menounos
The abortionist I worked for, he's a very greedy man, a selfish man.
Norma McCorvey
The Clinton paradox: How could a president so intelligent, so compassionate, so public-spirited and so conscious of his place in history act in such a stupid, selfish and self-destructive manner?
George Stephanopoulos
The existing principle of selfish interest and competition has been carried to its extreme point; and, in its progress, has isolated the heart of man, blunted the edge of his finest sensibilities, and annihilated all his most generous impulses and sympathies.
Francis Wright
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
Pope John Paul II
