Selfishness And Pride Quotes

• All of us, single or married, are eternally part of some family-someway, somewhere, somehow-and much of our joy in life comes as we correctly recognize and properly develop those family relationships. We come to this earth charged with a mission: to learn to love and serve one another. To best help us accomplish this, God has placed us in families, for he knows that is where we can best learn to overcome selfishness and pride and to sacrifice for others and to make happiness and helpfulness and humility and love the very essence of our character.

  John H. Groberg

• El egoísmo es una de las caras más comunes del orgullo. El "cómo me afecta todo" es el centro de todo lo que importa: el autoengaño, la autocompasión, la autorrealización mundana, la autogratificación y el egoísmo.

  Ezra Taft Benson

• Las principales amenazas a nuestra supervivencia ya no provienen de la naturaleza exterior, sino de nuestra propia naturaleza humana interior. Es nuestro descuido, nuestras hostilidades, nuestro egoísmo y orgullo y nuestra ignorancia voluntaria lo que pone en peligro al mundo.

• Broader and deeper we must write our annals, from an ethical reformation, from an influx of the ever new, ever sanative conscience, if we would trulier express our central and wide-related nature, instead of this old chronology of selfishness and pride to which we have too long lent our eyes. Already that day exists for us, shines in on us at unawares, but the path of science and of letters is not the way into nature. The idiot, the Indian, the child, and unschooled farmer's boy, stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary.

• If we continue to seek learning to serve God and His children better, it is a blessing of great worth. If we begin to seek learning to exalt ourselves alone, it leads to selfishness and pride, which will take us away from eternal life.
