“If you must love your neighbor as yourself, it is at least as fair to love yourself as your neighbor.”

“Love thy neighbor as thyself because you are your neighbor. It is illusion that makes you think that your neighbor is someone other than yourself. ”

“‎1. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. It's that easy! :-)”

“Jesus tells us: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’ (Mk 12:31). How can we love our neighbor if we can’t or won’t love ourselves, at least a little? When we hold ourselves to unrealistic standards, that perfectionist attitude can’t help but trickle down. It becomes harder to have compassion for others if we have no compassion for ourselves.”

“You are right,” he had said. “Love is not the word. No one can love his neighbor. Say, rather, ‘Know thy neighbor as thyself.” That is, comprehend his hardships and understand his position, deal with his faults as gently as with your own. Do not judge him where you do not judge yourself. Madame, this is the meaning of the word love.”

“We are taught...Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31)So say a prayer for children in despair and then go out and help someone in need. You will make a world of difference.”
