We have to take care of ourselves if we are going to take care of anyone else properly.
To deal with individual human needs at the everyday level can be noble sometimes.
Taking care of yourself is so important.
You walk into someone's house and they're dying, or they've got a family member who is dying. Your needs are minor; you're there to serve and to advise and to educate. You're not there to provide yourself.
For the most part, it's about keeping the same people around you - people who really care about your well-being - they keep you focused.
I don't go out of the way to take special care of myself.
As caretakers, we feel drained when caring for another, and in order to take care of someone else, we need to take care of ourselves at the same time.

You can't just take care of everybody else all the time.
I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.
