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 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.

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.

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

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

Idealism and science continue to function in separate compartments; and yet 'the happiness of man on earth' depends upon their combination.

It's not what you like but what you are like that's important.

I am not a Virginian, I am an American.

Politics is like sausages, you don't want to watch either being made.

A sense of continuity with the rest of creation is a form of religious experience essential to sanity.

Those who still eat flesh when they could do otherwise have no claim to be serious moralists.
