“A selfless act out of even the purest desire to do for others, will be selfish in the satisfaction and happiness it brings to one doing it.”
“The things we do without the fear of failure and the desire for success are the purest acts we'll ever do”
“Suicide to them is an act of selfishness. Someone who is truly selfless does not think of himself often enough to desire death.”
“The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.”
“All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction”
“When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes.”
