Enjoy Quotes
Well, he called me yesterday (Tuesday) morning and said, 'Mom, I called the Packers and told them I was going to play again.' My reaction is I'm glad he's playing, but it's probably selfish because I enjoy watching him play so much even if he is my son. He's entertaining, fun to watch, You never know what he's gonna do.

Barney Quotes
You gotta let a guy be himself, because that's what makes him. Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, all of them had the same attitude. If they don't have that ego kinda temperament they're not going to make it. You gotta be a selfish guy. Most people take selfishness as something bad, but it's really something good. If a guy don't help himself and think about himself first he won't make itnowhere in life doing nothing.

Britain Quotes
Britain has come on tenfold, but to be selfish about it we're all Scottish at the moment. It's about us. We'll go back to the British thing in a bit, but for the moment we've got to take all the praise and all the success for Scotland until we go back to competing for Britain because we don't get to compete for Scotland very often. We want to make the most of it, so I'm not having any of the limelight taken away by Britain at the moment, to be honest.

Critics And Criticism Quotes
The Yankees are still there, there are still spring training games. If that's the greatest criticism, the only answer I can give to that is that at some point in life, you've got to rise above your own selfish interests. If this sport is to (reach) the heights that we have to, you can't let your own myopic interest guide you.
-
Beer Quotes
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.'
-
Beauty Quotes
People see what he does for us on the field, but what they don't see is what he does for our team in the dugout, in the clubhouse, in the hotels and on the airplanes. The beauty of him is that he pushes his teammates to be better. He's always up cheering and supporting them. He's not a selfish player.
-
Bully Quotes
Now I know that so long as we have social inequality we shall have snobs; we shall have men who bully and truckle, and women who snub and crawl. I know that it is futile to, spurn them, or lash them for trying to get on in the world, and that the world is what it must be from the selfish motives which underlie our economic life.
-
Choice Quotes
Death makes us forget everything we love and loved ones at the most fearful moment of doubt on loosing our lives. This moment convinces us how much we are selfish of struggling to save ourselves rather than saving others. It would be worthy to live as we do not need to make a choice like that by not getting bounded much in relationships or being indifferent by loosing you to yourself and loosing others to yourself.

Best Quotes
Competing for 16 years has been the main focus of my life. Basically, it's a selfish pursuit. I've focused all my energy on how to be the best in the world, and there's been many others who have sacrificed for me to make that happen. I figured it was time for me to reach out and help someone else.
-
Anybody Quotes
Athletics is a very selfish pursuit. I wake up every morning and as I get ready for the day, I ask myself, how can I be the best in the world. So after years of this, and people sacrificing so I can be the best in the world, I think it's imperative for me or anybody else who reaches a pinnacle in their careers to reach out a hand for somebody else.

Ability Quotes
Amanda will be a star to reckon with as her college career goes on and I hope she has a chance with the Under-20 National Team. She can score in a variety of ways and is so crafty on the ball, with different moves and the ability to turn opponents inside and out. We are trying to encourage her to be more selfish with her own chances, as that should boost her goal total while also opening things up for the entire offense.
-
Add Quotes
They?re great, ... They?re just like regular guys. Both of them are very humble and they both add a lot of experience to the team. They?re not like superstars that are selfish and don?t care about the rest of their teammates. They take the time out and really talk to the guys. They get along with everybody.

John Quotes
It seems kind of selfish now, when I think about why I started this event. Ten years ago my son, Jacob, was a sophomore here. He had written a paper about John Steinbeck. He wanted to present this paper at one of the conferences I went to, but I told him they didn't let students do that.
-
Chance Quotes
It's a team that lost its poise and it's composure, simple as that. We clearly talked about what needed to be done in the second period and if we would have given ourselves a fighting chance by playing even-up hockey, there's a good chance we win the hockey game. We lost our composure, saw some selfish hockey, some undisciplined players and some guys who chose to think of themselves before their teammates.
-
Catch Quotes
It's a challenge I'm willing to take on fully. If I can catch Jake in wins, obviously that would be a good thing. But at the same time I want Jake to get his wins, too. Right now it's a selfish time of the year for a pitcher. You want to get your wins; you don't want to have any losses.
-
Kindness Quotes
I want the team to be better, ... So it is kind of unfair to be selfish and not try and help my teammates out. I am very competitive, though, and I do want that backup job and I'm playing as hard as I can to get that. I'm not going to not talk to somebody, especially Tim who I've known now since our rookie year together. We came out the same year, so we met at the (scouting) combine.
-
Angry Quotes
They are not selfish people, they are not using any excuse to call 'strike' and have a day off -- they are asking simply for what they have paid for and what they deserve. This immoral behavior from employers is the very reason our members are angry and frustrated. They are not militant as a rule but they have no choice other than to strike.
-
Brown Quotes
If you look at it, they're definitely not selfish people. Whatever it takes. Troy Brown playing defense is a little more crazy than putting a corner at safety, but it's not that much different. They know the coverage schemes and where everybody's got to be. But they've got a lot of guys that are interchangeable.
-
Dog Quotes
When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they’re doing so for purely selfish reasons. It’s the human equivalent of a puppy dog’s face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance makes you look cooler, than saying something like, 'please lower my taxes.'

Character Quotes
I watched as Humphrey Bogart’s character used beans as a metaphor for the relative unimportance in the wider world of his relationship with Ingrid Bergman’s character, and chose logic and decency ahead of his selfish emotional desires. The quandary and resulting decision made for an engrossing film. But this was not what people cried about. They were in love and could not be together. I repeated this statement to myself, trying to force an emotional reaction. I couldn’t. I didn’t care. I had enough problems of my own.
