It's funny how God show us who people are early on and we don't listen. Almost like we want to get hurt or need to feel that hurt in order to really take heed of what we already knew. When things always have to go that person's way, when there is never any compromise, when every second of every day is always all about them and what they want to do and how they want to do it. It's definitely okay to be selfish sometimes, but there is a big difference between doing what's right for yourself and thinking that only what you desire matters. So here are some quotes that remind you that selfish is not the way to be.
Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere
~Blaise Pascal
The selfishness must be discovered and understood before it can be removed. It is powerless to remove itself, neither will it pass away of itself. Darkness ceases only when light is introduced; so ignorance can only be dispersed by Knowledge; selfishness by Love.
~James Allen
He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
~ Tertullian
The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies.
~ B. C. Forbes
