Selfishness Quotations
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. Oscar Wilde Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. Martin Luther King, Jr. The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself. Henry Ward Beecher What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president. Lyndon B. Johnson |
