"It's surprising how many persons go
through life without ever recognizing that
their feelings toward other people are
largely determined by their feelings toward
themselves, and if you're not comfortable
within yourself, you can't be comfortable
with others."
-- Sydney J. Harris
"We have the need to be accepted and to be
loved by others, but we cannot accept and
love ourselves. The more self-love we have,
the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-
abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-
rejection comes from having an image of
what it means to be perfect and never
measuring up to that ideal. Our image of
perfection is the reason we reject ourselves
the way we are, and why we don't accept
others the way they are."
-- Don Miguel Ruiz
"There is no freedom like seeing myself as I
am and not losing heart."
-- Elizabeth J. Canham
"If we could learn to like ourselves, even a
little, maybe our cruelties and angers might
melt away."
-- John Steinbeck
