“In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.”
“In essence, you are neither inferior nor superior to anyone. True self-esteem and true humility arise out of that realization. In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.”
“Feed your self-esteem; not your ego!”
“An average man is egoistic, proud and has strong self esteem. They always require partners who massage their ego not those who will drag their ego to the mud.”
“There is no doubt that in exchanging a self-centered for a selfless life we gain enormously in self-esteem. The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost humility, is boundless.”
“Humility consists in not esteeming ourselves above other men, and in not seeking to be esteemed above them.”
