I think working as part of a brotherhood shows you can achieve personal satisfaction in a team.

Declan Donnelly

Personal success or personal satisfaction are not worth another thought if one does achieve them, or worth worrying about if they evade one or are slow in coming. All that is really worth while is action - faithful action, for the world, and in God.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The only true satisfaction a player receives is the satisfaction that comes from being part of a successful team, regardless of his personal accomplishments.

Vince Lombardi

Frederick Lenz

Trying to achieve something in the spiritual world is just as foolish as trying to achieve something in the material world. There's nothing to achieve. There's only letting go. As we let go, more and more, of ego identifications, desires, and support systems, bliss will arise.

Ayya Khema

One never knows whether people have principles on principle or whether for their own personal satisfaction.

Karel Capek

Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.

Nicolas Winding Refn

There's a thin line between narcissism, even if it's a healthy narcissism, and entertainment.

Richard Lewis

There's always a personal satisfaction in writing a song by yourself. You get the inspiration, and see it through, and you're done. It's focused and very personal.
