altruism

Every single good person is a good person for their own sake, not for the sake of humanity, not even for the sake of another human being.

It is humanly impossible to be selfless. As a matter of fact, human beings are inherently selfish.

It is infinitely better to rely on the pursuit of economic interest by landowners or street companies than to depend on the dubious __ltruism_ of bureaucrats and government officials.

Despite the fact that we cannot be absolutely altruistic in our behavior, we can still build our character to be loving and compassionate _ to empathize with others.

Loving others is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. Altruism that rewards one's self.

Business is about profit, yes _ and it is about more than profit: at its best, it is about expanding the possibilities of humanity.

Females and boys are the only creatures that propose others for friendship. As for the rest of us, friendship sort of just happens.

Some of our friends are our friends only because we used to be friends.

The Romans construed Jesus Chris__ crucifixion as a defeat, but what do we have today? Christianity triumphed. Jesus Christ never betrayed himself, he never betrayed his mission and he never corrupted the ideas that God wants us to live by. The Cameroonian soul is genuine. It is noble, and it embodies humaneness. There is no reason to try to kill it because it will triumph ultimately.

Hope is soothing, but it can become deceptive if we cling to it as the last resort against reality,

...We find our greatest peace when we embrace something that gives meaning to our lives. Often, it is love for somebody or something we can give up our lives for, or somebody or something that we are sure will never betray us. That love could be for a partner, for our offspring, for a country or for a belief...

...History is the key to the unity of a people. Its nostalgia pulls them together. Its gloom separates them further. Its successes make them stronger.

The people are like an audience watching a drama. They have characters whose sides they chose even before the start of the show, but they know little or nothing about the people behind the stage__he manipulators.

The most altruistic and sustainable philosophies fail before the brute brain stem imperative of self-interest.

Huh! Mankind always comes up with ideas to make up for the follies of the status quo. But what happens if those ideas are inflexible and fail to respond to the changing times. They end up betraying the people who believed in them.

Expose human ties for what they really are and you are most likely to find the worst forms of betrayal staring back at you.

Remember these, Sons! Truth presented with tenderness enriches the soul of man and enhances humanity in the process. A Franco-Cameroonian relation based on truth and nurtured with tenderness will be to the benefit not only of Kamerun and France, but also of mankind as a whole.

Fear is a basic human instinct and an indicator of the gravity of a situation. It becomes an asset if it is effectively controlled. It becomes a weakness for a man if he lets it prevail over him.
