Here's an interesting list of 108 Defilements of Buddhism: http://www.virtuescience.com/defilements.html
"Try to recognize that defilements are simply defilements; that they are not ‘your’ defilements. Every time you identify yourself with them or reject them, you are only increasing the strength of the defilements." --Sayadaw U Tejaniya

ostentatiousness
grudge
gambling
ingratitude
dipsomania
ambition
dominance
faithlessness
manipulation
stinginess
pessimism
hostility
abuse
debasement
sexual lust
