"Pride is as loud a beggar as..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“People who are wrapped up in themselves make small packages.”

“A ship under sail and a big-bellied woman, Are the handsomest two things that can be seen common.”

“Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there ... if you had but skill to read.”

“The superior man has a dignified ease without pride. The mean man has pride without a dignified ease.”

“Pride gets into the Coach, and Shame mounts behind.”

“And if that child should ever get the chance to travel the world and someone should ask her where is she from, we believe that she should always be able to hold her head high with pride in her voice when she answers, "I am an American." That is the course we seek. That is the change we are calling for.”

“Most people want to get what they want, whereas the secret is to want what you get at this moment.”

“If I hold you with my emotions,you'll become a wished-for companion.”

“Most people's lives are run by desire and fear. Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself more fully. All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming diminished and being less. These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given or taken away. Being in its fullness is already within you, Now.”
