self-pity

«Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.»
«Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way.»

Author: Stephen Vincent Benet | About: Honesty | Keywords: self-pity
«Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.»
«Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.»
«God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.»
«Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.»
