Above all, don’t lie to yourself.
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off.
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
People are like stained – glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

I think the most important thing in life is self-love, because if you don’t have self-love, and respect for everything about your own body, your own soul, your own capsule, then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else?
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.
One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world — making the most of one’s best.
Look the world straight in the eye.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and respect of self, in turn, is the chief element in courage.
