Do not love your neighbour as yourself. If you are on good terms with yourself it is an impertinence; if on bad, an injury.

Self-love is the instrument of our preservation.

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow of his interest in himself

I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it in to existence or clearing the way for it.

The fickleness of the women whom I love is only equaled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me

It is ok to standup for yourself, that is not ego it is Loving Yourself and that is where it all begins on the journey of success.
