Quote by Harry Emerson Fosdick

A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package.


A person wrapped up in himself makes a small package.

Summary

This quote suggests that someone who is self-centered or excessively self-absorbed tends to have a narrow perspective, limiting their impact and influence in the world. It implies that individuals who only focus on their own needs and desires may miss out on the opportunities and experiences that come with considering others and engaging in the broader world. Rather than contributing meaningfully, they bring little value or significance, akin to a small parcel that doesn't expand beyond its own confines.
