He who tries to shine dims his own light. He who defines himself can't know who he really is.

Lao Tzu

Arrogance repels. Humility inspires.

Robin Sharma

Forgetting oneself is opening oneself.

Dogen

Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something.

Osho

Ryan Holiday

Let your action be free of all traces of ego. When an action is free of ego it leaves no problems in its wake.
