Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views not even kindness.

I have long said there are three distinct groups under the GOP's tent: theological warriors who want to impose their social views on the rest of society Tea Party zealots who say with a straight face that they want the government to get out of their Medicare and remnants of the pro-business moderates.

To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open not closed. So yes my ego is big but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.
