There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood.

Charles Dickens

Shame is pride's cloak.

William Blake

Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use.

Mahatma Gandhi

The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self.

Wayne Dyer

If you're afraid to do something in a social setting, it is because you are more invested in someone else's opinion of you than you are in your own opinion of yourself.

Luca Dellanna

Don't allow someone not worth it to have the power to occupy your thoughts. If they don't find you worth the effort or the time, why should you waste yours?
