As long as you love another person less than yourself, you will not succeed in loving yourself, but if you love all alike, including yourself, you will love them as one person and that person is both God and man. Thus he is the great righteous person who, loving himself, loves all others equally. &#8211; Meister Eckhart<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune. &#8211; Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Do not wish to be anything except what you are. &#8211; St. Francis De Sales<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me! &#8211; William James<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.
