I think forgiveness is probably one of the greatest forms of self-love there is because you don't do forgiveness for anybody else. My captors will never care if I forgive them... It will not make a day of difference to them at all, but it will make a huge difference to me.

To me, self-esteem is not self-love. It is self-acknowledgment, as in recognizing and accepting who you are.

Amity Gaige

Men Love You

I have a combination of self-love and self-loathing, just like most people.

Amy Landecker

Love Us Thing

I've grown not only as an actor but as a young woman. I find myself to be more confident and being more open about self-love. I'm still learning how to take up space and speak out when needed, but that's a new thing for me and I'm loving it.

Amybeth McNulty

Allowing myself to love God completely has obviously shed light on my self-love because he loves me more than I could ever love myself.

Angie Stone

Self-love seems so often unrequited.

Anthony Powell

Love Unrequited UN

He fell in love with himself at first sight, and it is a passion to which he has always remained faithful. Self-love seems so often unrequited.

Love Faith Wit

People need to work on what self-love is and redefining self-love... it comes from within: who you are and how you carry yourself in this world.

Ashley Nell Tipton

If we give our children sound self-love, they will be able to deal with whatever life puts before them.

My book, 'The Total Me-Tox,' is about self-care and self-love and how they lead to success and empowerment. My goal is to encourage women to be their best selves in a warm, friendly way. Think human, not superhuman.

Beth Behrs

Loving our hair and accepting others' is a simple but powerful way to encourage self-love and bring people together while celebrating our uniqueness.

Carolyn Aronson

The lawgiver ought to be gentle, lenient and humane. The lawgiver ought to be a skilled architect who raises his building on the foundation of self-love, and the interest of all ought to be the product of the interests of each.

Cesare Beccaria

Love Who UN

Our first and last love is self-love.

Christian Nestell Bovee

Love T Self-Love

A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.

Delilah

Time Society Romantic

It's really hard to foster self-love; it really is. I think a lot of people who claim that they do have a definite lack of self-loathing are either lying or just in a place that I don't relate to.

I think forgiveness is probably one of the greatest forms of self-love there is because you don't do forgiveness for anybody else. My captors will never care if I forgive them... It will not make a day of difference to them at all, but it will make a huge difference to me.

Christ tears away the wall of partition, the self-love, the dividing prejudice of nationality, and teaches a love for all the human family.

Ellen G. White

Muhammad Ali inside the ring and Muhammad Ali outside the ring were totally different men; his abrasive, magnetic daring and infectious self-love outside the ring galvanized the world and distracted many from his sniper's precision. He was a heavyweight with the fluttering gracefulness of a middleweight.

Elvis Mitchell

I am a recovering narcissist. I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. It is actually drearier than self-love; it is unrequited self-love.

Emily Levine

Consumerist ads brainwash us into individualist and egotistic self-love.

Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Love Jealousy Us

What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

L'Oreal's slogan 'because you're worth it' has come to epitomise banal narcissism of early 21st century capitalism; easy indulgence and effortless self-love all available at a flick of the credit card.

Geoff Mulgan

A modest dose of self-love is entirely healthy - who would want to live in a world where everyone hated themselves? But taken too far, it soon becomes poisonous.

Geoff Mulgan

The delusions of self-love cannot be prevented, but intellectual misconceptions as to the means of achieving success may be corrected.

George Henry Lewes

Self-love, it is obvious, remains always positive and active in our natures.

Gordon W. Allport

I wish that more people, especially young people, were taught about self-love at a younger age.

Jamila Woods

If you don't know where to find self-love, you're going to spend the rest of your life trying to find it somewhere else.

Jeannie Mai

I'm really about body positivity and self-love, and I will definitely push the boundary with a pink midriff-baring top.

Jonathan Van Ness

If you have body hair, I'm like, 'Have your body hair. Have it sticking up the top of your shirt.' I'm really about body positivity and self-love.

Jonathan Van Ness

Probably the advice I could follow more is the self-love sort of advice. I think, four out of every five days, I'm good at that, but certain situations can trigger self-doubt or cloudiness around how I feel about myself.

Jonathan Van Ness

Pride in a man is confused with dignity; in a woman, with self-love.

Jose Bergamin

Happiness does not consist in self-love.

Joseph Butler

Thus self-love as one part of human nature, and the several particular principles as the other part, are, themselves, their objects and ends, stated and shown.

Joseph Butler

Self-love then does not constitute THIS or THAT to be our interest or good; but, our interest or good being constituted by nature and supposed, self-love only puts us upon obtaining and securing it.

Joseph Butler

The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone; therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of.

Joseph Butler

The principle we call self-love never seeks anything external for the sake of the thing, but only as a means of happiness or good: particular affections rest in the external things themselves.

Joseph Butler

Love of our neighbour, then, has just the same respect to, is no more distant from, self-love, than hatred of our neighbour, or than love or hatred of anything else.

Joseph Butler

The object of self-love is expressed in the term self; and every appetite of sense, and every particular affection of the heart, are equally interested or disinterested, because the objects of them all are equally self or somewhat else.

Joseph Butler

I am a feminist, and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.

June Jordan

Every day, at home, I have the astonishing and humbling opportunity - together with my wife Sophie - to nurture empathy, compassion, self-love, and a keen sense of justice in our three kids.

Justin Trudeau

I've learned to ignore the negative people and just be a living example of confidence and self-love.

Khoudia Diop

Self-love is not something that you get in one day or two days. It's an ongoing process, and I go through it every day.

Khoudia Diop

People should accept being single, because those are the moments you can really focus on yourself, and learning who you are. Then when you get in a relationship, you will be stronger and have a little bit more self-awareness, self-love, and the other ingredients for a healthy relationship.

Lauren London

Self-love is a big part of golf.

Lewis Black

Self-love means something. I thought it was all a joke for a long time. It's really important. Giving yourself a break is really important.

Lindsay Shookus

Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.

Lord Byron

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

If, through my own personal journey, I can inspire someone else to self-love, that would be the biggest accomplishment.

Lzzy Hale

My mom gave me a rose quartz that I carry every day. It promotes self-love. Whenever I feel a little down, I just hold it and get some good energy.

Madelaine Petsch

Being diagnosed with cancer helped me identify all that was wrong in my life. It also helped me search for the solutions. I discovered self-love; I learned to prioritise myself over others and, most importantly, realised that I had to love myself first before somebody else loves me.
