Similar quotes

When you drop ego, you can have great fun because you are no longer taking anything personally. You are a detached observer which has a peculiar joy of its own. Ego is a source of great tension. Egoistic people are anxious, self-defensive and uptight.

The Ancient Sage

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Marcus Aurelius

When you're alone, watch your thoughts. When you're successful, watch your ego. When you've got problems, watch your emotions. When you're with the crowds, watch what you say.

He that is proud eats up himself. Pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle; and whatever praises itself but in the deed, devours the deed in the praise.

William Shakespeare

Ingratitude is the daughter of pride.

Miguel de Cervantes

Anyone that hates on you is always below you, because they're just jealous of what you have.
