“The secret of human happiness is not in self-seeking but in self-forgetting.”
“This is the secret of life: the self lives only by dying, finds its identity (and its happiness) only by self-forgetfulness, self-giving, self-sacrifice, and agape love.”
“Seldom can the heart be lonely,If it seek a lonelier still;Self-forgetting, seeking onlyEmptier cups of love to fill.”
“a human being is never what he is but the self he seeks.”
“Happiness lies in a large measure of self-forgetfulness, either in work . . . or in the love of others. ♥”
“the self expands through acts of self forgetfulness.”
