“Love for yourself is the key to loving other. Love begins with you.”
“To love others you must first love yourself.”
“When you have no one to love - you begin to hate yourself.”
“When you love yourself, utterly and completely, all of yourself, what you will discover then is that you love others, all others, utterly and completely.”
“Other than the love of God; the greatest love is self love. You have to love yourself more than you love someone else in order to succeed in a prosperous life.”
“[G]iving yourself some loving attention is not selfish. It is sensible. If you feel loved and cherished--even if it is only by yourself--then you will have more love to give to others, too. (83)”
