Egotism is the anaesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

Most people's self-esteem isn't low enough.

An inferiority complex would be a blessing if only the right people had it.

What's wrong with this egotism? If a man doesn't delight in himself and the force in him and feel that he and it are wonders, how is all life to become important to him?

He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.

I occasionally swank a little because people like it; a modest man is such a nuisance.

Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.

Humility is like underwear, essential, but indecent if it shows.

Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.
