More on Egotism
“It will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or egotism gain ground amongst you.”
“I shall stick to our vow: never, never under any circumstances, to say anything unbecoming of the other...The trouble, of course, is that most successful men are prone to some form of vanity.

“The essence of self-fulfillment and autonomous culture is an unshakable egotism.”
