Self-pity.. not sth u wanna live by

"Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one's best."
~ Harry Emerson Fosdick, 1878 - 1969

"Self-pity is our worst enemy, and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world. "
~ Helen Keller, 1880 - 1968

"Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure, and separates the victim from reality."
~ John W. Gardner, 1912 - 2002

"What poison is to food, self-pity is to life."
~ Oliver C. Wilson
