34 QUOTES ABOUT THE HUMAN EGO

“Ego” is the only requirement to destroy every relationship. So be a better person, skip the “e” and let it “go.” - Unknown

[EGO] is an inflated feeling of superiority and pride to others and if ego is not controlled on time it can ruin the person’s life. An egoist and people with big ego tend to hurt others with their behavior. They are too consumed with their own thoughts and happiness, which at times comes out in form of pride, self-obsession or arrogance. As the ego becomes strong it starts surrounding intelligence like a thick layer of darkness. Intelligence is light, ego is darkness. Intelligence is very delicate, ego is very hard. Intelligence is like a rose flower, ego is like a rock.

“The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self.” – Wayne Dyer

“Your ego is your self-image created by thought. It’s your social mask requiring validation because it lives in fear of losing its sense of identity.”

“Big egos have little ears.” – Robert Schuller

Your ego is your soul’s worst enemy.”-  Rusty Eric

The Ego’s job is to kill everything but itself. – Byron Katie

“When the ego dies, the soul awakes.” – Mahatma Gandhi

None are so empty as those who are full of themselves. – Benjamin Whichcote

“Letting go of your ego opens the door to take a new and creative course of action.” - Anonymous

The ego says: I’m still angry about yesterday, the spirit says: new day, new attitude.”

“You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.” – Wayne Dyer

“The ego cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false — they never meet.” ~ Osho

The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something. – Muhammad Iqbal

“As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.”- Ram Dass

“Pride goes before destruction.”-  Aesop

“You cannot mix love with ego nor with pride.”

“When things get complicated then know that is is from ego.”

“If you learn how to make fun of yourself, your ego will go down.”

“The more you dis-identify with your ego, the more complete is your freedom.” – The Ancient Sage

“Ego has a voracious appetite, the more you feed it, the hungrier it gets.”

“EGO: three letters that hold you back from saying things your heart is dying to say like, I love you, I miss you and I am sorry.”

“The ego is your enemy, not your friend. It is the ego that gives you wounds and hurts you. It is the ego that makes you violent, angry, jealous, competitive. It is the ego that is continuously comparing and feeling miserable.” – Osho

“Your ego seeks conflict; it loves nothing better than to win battles for you, sadly as it wins, you often lose respect and friendships. If you wish problems to persist, keep blaming everyone and everything but yourself, for he who persistently blames and criticise only fans the flames of hatred and controversy.”

“In the battle of egos, both competitors lose.” – Robin Sharma

“I long to escape the prison of my ego and lose myself in you.” – Rumi

“You have no choice. You must leave your ego on the doorstep before you enter love.” – Kamand Kojouri

“Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition – all such distortions within our own egos – condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That’s how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other’s naked hearts.” – Tennessee Williams

“People that put themselves above others will fall longer and harder.” – Gina Lindley

“In all that surrounds him the egotist sees only the frame of his own portrait.” – J. Petit-Senn

“If you get your ego in your way, you will only look to other people and circumstances to blame.” –  Jocko Willink

“Every ego wants to be special. If it can’t be special by being superior to others, it’s also quite happy with being especially miserable.” –  Eckhart Tolle

Ego trip: a journey to nowhere. – Robert Half

Egoist: a person of low taste, more interested in himself than me. – Ambrose Bierce

Here’s my work from this year, delivered to the gallery (West End gallery, Corning NY). It sure has been a year, feeling like I’ve been in “survival mode”. It’s been a challenge to make art. That said, some of these felt really great to paint. Top to bottom, left to right: “Crescent” Osprey, 20″x16″ oil on panel. “Vernal” Hermit Thrush (with wood frog), 10″x8″ oil on panel. My thanks to Andy Reago and Chrissy McClarren of Flickr for their reference photograph of this bird! “Autumn Queen” Belted Kingfisher, 10″x8″ oil on panel. My thanks to Andy Reago and Chrissy McClarren of Flickr for their reference photograph of this bird! “Thinking About Tomorrow” American Crow, 10″x8″ oil on panel. “New Neighbor” Red-Winged Blackbird, 8″x10″ oil on panel. “Maple Mothers” Eastern Bluebird (with queen bumblebee), 8″x10″ oil on panel. “Tufted Titmouse”, 7″x5″ oil on panel. “Watcher of the Hoh” Grey/Canada Jay, 14″x11″ oil on panel. “Regal” Golden-Breasted Starling, 14″x6″ oil on stretched linen. “Spring Beacons” Northern Parula Warbler, 12″x16″ oil on panel.
