"All men are born firstly with the instinct to protect themselves. But few grow to really love themselves, and even fewer learn to love their neighbor as themselves."

"If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others."

"One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim "You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself" made clear sense. And I add, "Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself."

"Have the courage to love yourself like you always wished someone would."

"Self-love the perfect soil from which to grow love."

"Love yourself. That kind of love can get you through anything."

"Isn't it time to start giving yourself the great gift of your own love?"

"You will never know anyone more intimately than yourself. Love yourself and be good to yourself."

"Often self-love is replaced with self- loathing, compounded by beating ourselves up. We become experts at putting ourselves down, judging ourselves, and finding fault. This creates deep shame that says 'I am a mistake instead of saying 'I made a mistake."
