Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.
You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.
Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.
Being single doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong enough to wait for what you deserve.
They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.
If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.
I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one’s self-respect.
I don't want anyone who doesn't want me.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
