Ego

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.
- Bruce Crampton

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
- Colin Powell

Our ego is our silent partner - too often with a controlling interest.
- Cullen Hightower

Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.
- Diana Black

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
- Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy

The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.
- Lucille S. Harper

Nice quotes... y not take a quote and ellobrate on each quote, instead of stating them ? or say, state the quote and talk about the the person who quoted it.

Well, many reasons why not doing so

1) Time. I try to update this daily and so I wont be able to find enough time if I try to do so.

2) Quotes make sense to different ppl in different ways. The quote I like may not be the one you like. So it is better to leave it as-is and let the readers think about it and relate to themselves.

3) Most of the quotes doesn't need much of an explanation. They express the meaning perfectly in so few words, and even if I try to explain in 1000 words, it wont come anywhere near it!

This is mostly an assimilation of quotes I come across daily from some subscription services. Recently I started adding the picture of the person also to the quotes, if all of them belongs to the same.
