If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.

Resolve to be thyself: and know, that he who finds himself, loses his misery.

When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and bring joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.

Don't worry about growing older or pleasing others. Please yourself.

I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

Self-love is often rather arrogant than blind; it does not hide our faults from ourselves, but persuades us that they escape the notice of others.

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving.

I am a big believer in the "mirror test." All that matters is if you can look in the mirror and honestly tell the person you see there, that you've done your best.

It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.

Self-love seems so often unrequited.

Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else, and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.

When you feel good about yourself, others will feel good about you, too.

Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.

Know the self to be sitting in the chariot, the body to be the chariot, the intellect the charioteer, and the mind the reins.
