He that is proud eats up himself: pride is his own glass, his own trumpet, his own chronicle.

William Shakespeare

To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.

It's hard to be humble when you are as great as I am.

If you really want to feel at peace, then your goal is to let go of the ego which separates us from being at one with all which is.

The ego gets what it wants with words. The soul finds what it needs in silence.

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life.

Bertrand Russell

The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit of doing them.
