SELFISHNESS

自私
A selfish spirit is unworthy of a Christian.

Joseph Alleine

自私自利的心態，根本不配做個基督徒。
Selfishness is a very little world inhabited by one man.

Thomas Carlyle

自私是一個非常小的世界，裡面只住著一個人。
Selfishness tarnishes everything it touches.

Billy Graham

自私會玷污它所觸及的一切。
Selfishness is not only sin but lies at the root of all sin.

R. B. Kuyper

自私不是罪，但卻是所有罪的根基。
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

自私不是一個人照自己的意思活，而是要求別人照他的意思而活。
Evil isn't a cosmological riddle, only just selfish human behaviour.

Joyce Carol Oates

罪惡無關乎任何妖魔鬼怪，只不過是人類自私行為。
No man can live happily who regards himself alone, who turns everything to his own advantage. Thou must live for another if thou wishest to live for thyself.

Seneca

一個只顧自己、把一切都轉化為自身利益的人，不可能過得快樂。如果你希望為自己而活，你必須為他人而活。
Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.

Billy Graham

自我中心的放縱、驕傲和對罪惡缺乏羞恥感，現在是美國生活方式的標誌。
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

每個人都必須決定他將在建設性利他主義的光芒中行走，還是在破壞性自私的黑暗中行走。
The principle of liberty and equality, if coupled with mere selfishness, will make men only devils, each trying to be independent that he may fight only for his own interest. And here is the need of religion and its power, to bring in the principle of benevolence and love to men.

John Rowland

自由和平等的原則，如果僅與自私結合，只會使人成為魔鬼，每個人都試圖獨立，以便只為自己的利益而戰。這就需要宗教及其力量，引入仁愛和對人的愛原則。
