| ...we have smuggled a word into the dictionary
which ought not to be there at all--Self-Sacrifice. It describes a thing
which does not exist... We ignore and never mention the Sole Impulse which
dictates and compels a man's every act: the imperious necessity of securing
his own approval, in every emergency and at all costs. - What is Man? |

What do you call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, magnanimity, forgiveness?
Different results of the one master impulse: the necessity of securing one's
self-approval.
- What is Man?
A man will do anything, no matter what it is, to secure his spiritual comfort...A
man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
