Individualism has come in for an enormous amount of criticism over the years. It still does. It is widely assumed to be synonymous with selfishness... But the main reason why so many people in power have always disliked individualism is because it is individualists who are ever keenest to prevent the abuse of authority (Selfishness Quotes)

Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered (Selfishness Quotes)
How much that the world calls selfishness is only generosity with narrow walls, a too exclusive solicitude to maintain a wife in luxury, or make one’s children rich (Selfishness Quotes)

Happiness must be shared. Selfishness it its enemy; to make another happy is to be happy one’s self. It is quiet, most easily won in moments of solitude and reflection. It comes from within (Selfishness Quotes)
The greatest surprise of human evolution may be that the highest form of selfishness is selflessness (Selfishness Quotes)
