Whenever the world throws rose petals at you, which thrill and seduce the ego, beware. The cosmic banana peel is suddenly going to appear underfoot to make sure you don't take it all too seriously, that you don't fill up on junk food.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

William Shakespeare

People wear masks of lies so that they look attractive, so be careful.

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

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

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

Charles Dickens
