Self-love is the source of all our other loves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.
Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.
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.
Our first and last love is self-love.
Our own self-love draws a thick veil between us and our faults.
Self-love is really a foundation for everything, and however you practice or express that is so, so important.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Self-love, it is obvious, remains always positive and active in our natures.
Self-love seems so often unrequited.
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.
