selfish

The shortest short-term investment is to serve ourselves.

Self-serving biases and self-centered agendas are cotton jammed in the ears of our conscience. Even if truth shouts, we can__ hear it.

The thing that I__ most likely to collapse under is not the weight of the stresses that stand around me, but the ego that sits within me.

If I__ my biggest fan, the only person in the stadium is probably me.

If it__ about me, I can be assured that there will be a bunch of empty chairs in the auditorium of my life; save the one I__ sitting in.

If it has anything to do with me, it has nothing to do with sacrifice.

Religious traditions and selfish agenda are laid aside when we are poor in spirit

For the case that one thinks he has plateaued in life, God has already set yet another peak for him to reach: and a much more challenging peak than his own, one that which is to serve others.

Sometimes you need to be a little selfish because kindness is seldom appreciated.

When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.

Beware of those who are stingy, for they would rather sting you than give you anything.

She wondered if it counted as being good if you did the good thing for purely selfish reasons. Probably not, but who cared. What was important was what you did, not how you felt.

It is humanly impossible to be selfless. As a matter of fact, human beings are inherently selfish.

Part of the treasure in heaven that Jesus talks about is the feeling of purpose and satisfaction a person has when they know they are performing the will of God. Those who put themselves and money first often complain about life feeling empty and meaningless. Jesus pays those who serve him with meaning and spiritual abundance in their lives and hearts instead of money.

At this moment God might not necessarily be a necessity, but know that His absence will of necessity eventually result in His necessity.

Miki-san... do you truly want that person's dream to come true? Or is it that you want to be that person's savior for making that dream come true? If you're going to fulfill someone else's dream, that's the time when it's most important to be sure you know your own wish. The two might seem the same, but they're entirely different.

The bedrock of corruption is the attitude of selfishness. Nations are ruined when politicians think for themselves first before thinking about anyone else!
