Self-sacrifice

Self-sacrifice is the giving up of one's own benefit for the good of others. Quotes Lord Goring: ...self-sacrifice is a thing that should be put down by law. It is so demoralising to the people for whom one sacrifices oneself. They always go to the bad. Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband, Act III Unquestionably society ought to be so organised as to render self-sacrifice superfluous, for as long as men exist who are ready and willing to make sacrifices, so long will egoists take advantage of these sacrifices.
