• If this earth should ever be destroyed, it will be by desire, by the lust of pleasure and self-gratification, by greed of the green frog skin, by people who are mindful of their own self, forgetting about the wants of others.

• Certainly I believe that God gave us life for happiness, not misery. Humanity, I am sure, will never be made lazy or indifferent by an excess of happiness. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Happiness should be a means of accomplishment, like health, not an end in itself.

  Helen Keller

• He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance.

• Selfishness is one of the more common faces of pride. 'How everything affects me' is the center of all that matters-self-conceit, self-pity, worldly self-fulfillment, self-gratification, and self-seeking.

• Let's be clear about what people never say about Playboy on television. It was nothing more than an instrument for onanism. That's what it was. And the Internet co-opted that industry of self- gratification. There is no necessity for lonely men or teenagers to use Playboy. It turns out no one bought that magazine for the articles ever; it was used for only one thing.

• Love is a many-sided sacrifice; it means thoughtfulness for others; it means putting their good before self-gratification. Love is impulse, no doubt, but true love is impulse wisely directed.

• Hoy en día, cuando miro hacia atrás y a veces lo hago, lo que más me llama la atención es que lo que en su momento me pareció más significativo y seductor, ahora me parece más inútil y absurdo. Por ejemplo, el éxito en todas sus formas; ser conocido y alabado; los placeres ostensibles, como conseguir dinero o seducir a las mujeres, o viajar, ir de un lado a otro del mundo y subir y bajar en él como Satanás, explorando y experimentando todo lo que la Feria de la Vanidad pueda ofrecer. En retrospectiva, todos estos ejercicios de autogratificación parecen pura fantasía, lo que Pascal llamaba "lamer la tierra".

• Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence, traits that carry over into intellectual pursuits and that lead to effective study and work habits. An association of music and math has, in fact, long been noted. Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients. For all these reasons, it deserves strong support in our educational system, along with the other arts, the sciences, and athletics.

• Among the few I have indicated, is there no dynamic man of action, the rebel who will help determine the aspect of the collective expression of tomorrow? Ponder this question and know that to make beautiful creations for the sake of their aesthetic value will have no social significance tomorrow, will be nonsensical self-gratification. Every era contains the conditions for providing a rebel.

• ... El dolor es egoísta. Se consiente en ella por autogratificación, no por amor. El hombre cósmico conoce la belleza y la irrealidad de la muerte. La simpatía por el afligido hace realidad la aflicción al reconocerla como una imposición, mientras que la pena por la pérdida de algo, o por la condición "desafortunada" de alguien, olvida la belleza y la abundancia de Dios y de la Naturaleza que todo lo dan. La Mente de Dios sólo conoce una emoción inmutable - el ÉXTASIS - el éxtasis del Amor - el éxtasis que tiene sus comienzos en la alegría interior de quien está lejos en el camino hacia el descubrimiento de su Ser inmortal.

  Walter Russell

  Egoísmo, Duelo, Pérdida

• If the heart be chiefly and directly fixed on God, and the soul engaged to glorify him, some degree of religious affection will be the effect and attendant of it. But to seek after affection directly and chiefly; to have the heart principally set upon that; is to place it in the room of God and his glory. If it be sought, that others may take notice of it, and admire us for our spirituality and forwardness in religion, it is then damnable pride; if for the sake of feeling the pleasure of being affected, it is then idolatry and self-gratification.
