Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites.

There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness - but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: 'Go and become a philanthropist.' I said, 'No, I can do that in the business world, create a different kind of business - a business based on selflessness.'

The truth about people at every economic level of life is you get those who are kind and who are not, those who are greedy, whether they be rich or poor. That's a common thread through humanity on any street you go to.

The whole brunt of the media and the government is to encourage people to be highly competitive and totally selfish and uncaring of others.

The truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a selfish society. Because we're so busy now.

Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.

The welfare state creates its own victim/client constituency. By making individuals free and independent, we reduce the need for 'charity' to those truly needy citizens what we can certainly afford to help through real charity.

People from both political parties have long recognized that welfare without work creates negative incentives that lead to permanent poverty. It robs people of self-esteem.
