“I know I have a successful career, a successful life. If I sit and say, 'Look, I have a comfortable life,' and I... just think about myself, I don't think that would be fair. That would be very selfish. Because everything I do in my life is to benefit my people.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsLooksWould BeLife IsCareersSuccessfulBenefitsComfortableFairsSelfishSuccessful LifeSuccessful CareerComfortable Life Author:George Weah
“Most Americans are aware of the brutality and injustice used to maintain the excesses of their selfish consumer society and empire. Yet I suspect...they do not care. They don’t want to see what is done in their name. They do not want to look at the rows of flag-draped coffins, the horribly maimed bodies and faces of veterans, or the human suffering in the blighted and deserted former manufacturing centers. It is too upsetting. Government and corporate censorship is therefore welcomed and appreciated.” WantHumansLooksDoneBodyGovernmentCareFacesUsedSufferingNamesInjusticeSelfishFormerConsumersCorporateUpsetEmpiresSuspectsExcessFlagsCensorshipVeteranAppreciatedBrutalityManufacturingCoffinsDesertedHuman Suffering Author:Curtis White
“Shall an invention be patented or donated to the public freely? I have known some well-meaning scientific men ... to look askance at the patenting of inventions, as if it were a rather selfish and ungracious act, essentially unworthy. The answer is very simple. Publish an invention freely, and it will almost surely die from lack of interest in its development. It will not be developed and the world will not be benefited. Patent it, and if valuable, it will be taken up and developed into a business.” IfsMenWorldWellsLooksScienceDiesInterestSimpleAnswersKnownTakenDevelopmentValuableSelfishInventionPublishUnworthyPatents Author:Elihu Thomson
“Humans call animals 'dumb'... after they robbed their entire own precious world. They are intelligent beings in their own right, and thoroughly self-sufficient... if not molested by humans. Yet, after millennia of slavery by selfish/callous humans they're made to look dumb! The 'superior species' in their situations would, too, appear 'dumb'.” IfsWorldHumansLooksMadeSelfAnimalSituationIntelligentSlaverySpeciesSelfishSuperiorsDumbSufficientAnimal RightsSelf SufficientCallous Author:Adela Popescu
“If you look at Washington, you see permanently camped on the banks of the Potomac spread around in concentric circles an army representing thousands of selfish interests.
