Self-pity does not
Console one’s mind.
Self-pity cannot
Strengthen one’s heart.
Self-pity only makes one
A real stranger to oneself.
by Sri Chinmoy (1)
~
Self-interest, self-pity
And self-indulgence:
These words are not to be found
Any more
In my life-dictionary.
by Sri Chinmoy (2)
~
Self-pity is, indeed,
A wasted pity.
But self-concern is undoubtedly
A rewarding and illumining experience.
by Sri Chinmoy (3)
