QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON SELF-DENIAL
Every extreme attitude is a fight from the self.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983, American author, philosopher)
The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.
Leigh Hunt (1784-1859, British poet, essayist)
Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock.
Theodore Parker (1810-1860, American minister)
Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950, Irish-born British dramatist)
Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak.
John Selden (1584-1654, British jurist, statesman)
Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end.
