Ego very much wants to make you think that your self worth is all about what you possess, what you've accomplished, and who you know.

...the longer one stays in full flight from reality, the more painful will be the landing.

...frankly, many times, the people that we resent either have no idea about it or could care less.

We are not obliged to like everyone, only to love and forgive everyone, sometimes from a distance.

Ego doesn't want us to be loving, forgiving and kind to each other or even to ourselves.

Desire as a motivator for achievement and even for survival isn't a bad thing. It's when desire drives us to grab more than our share or harm others that issues arise.

Our reputations are so out of our control that it's laughable how much time and effort so many of us put into trying to "control" them.

If you are worrying about reputation, you are taking time away from doing the things that really matter.

When relying solely on ego, we are given many messages that are contrary to the achievement of that happy and fulfilling life that most of us actually desire.

The ego is never satisfied. So, if you're not satisfied with what you have right now, consider what is driving you.

The more "things" I have, the more time I spend thinking about them, moving them around, fixing them, looking for them, or upgrading them.

Television is the literature of the illiterate the culture of the low-brow the wealth of the poor the privilege of the underprivileged the exclusive club of the excluded masses.

For me, good films and good books are irreducible to a lesson. You can't just kind of translate them into one statement. On the contrary, the more you do that, the less wisdom in art there is.

When people are not in the moment, they're not there to know that they're not there.

I tend to get sounds that sound a little bit wrecked.

I hope that something better comes along.

Let me die still loving, and so, never die.

I can understand; you are really in a mess and there is no way out. I have heard that there are three rings of love: the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffer-ring.

Rather than saying, 'My checking account is a wreck,' change it to 'I will learn how to track my spending and balance my checkbook.'

Use almost can change the stamp of nature.

Never, never, never, never, never! Pray you, undo this button.
