"Take egotism out and you would castrate..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Poetry must be as new as foam and as old as the rock.”

“Lovers should guard their strangeness. If they forgive too much, all slides into confusion and meanness.”

“A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.”

“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. There comes a stage in their lives when they consider it permissible to be egotistic and to brag to the public at large about their unique achievements.”

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

“We get paid for bringing value to the market place.”

“He who would really benefit mankind must reach them through their work.”

“There has never been and never will be another you. You have a purpose - a very special gift that only you can bring to the world.”
