“Their mother had always stressed the importance of taking care of yourself first, your family second and everyone else not at all..darkest surrender”
“You take care of family first, friends second, and neighbors when you can.”
“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
“If you put everyone else first you'll always be last, but if you always put yourself first you will never last.”
“If you take care of yourself , you can't carry on at all . But if you take care of your self for some one else , you will be safe forever .”
“My mother always says people should be able to take care of themselves, even if they're rich and important.”
