Ego Quotes

Forgetting oneself is opening oneself.

Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece; but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.

Benjamin Franklin

Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable. Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears.

When wealth and honours lead to arrogancy, this brings its evil on itself.

Breath by breath, let go of fear, expectation, anger, regret, cravings, frustration, fatigue. Let go of the need for approval. Let go of old judgments and opinions. Die to all that, and fly free. Soar in the freedom of desirelessness.

Midlife is the time to let go of an overdominant ego and to contemplate the deeper significance of human existence.

Carl Gustav Jung
