“For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.

We don’t have to totally forget about our own needs. But we can chase selfishness away by not always thinking about our needs first.”
