Florence King Quotes

It's not that I didn't love myself before. Sometimes we don't realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself - if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.

We have to take care of ourselves if we are going to take care of anyone else properly.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

It's the love you have for yourself that's most important.

I think every girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. Like if you're having a bad day, if you don't like your hair, if you don't have the best family situation, whatever, you have to love yourself and you can't do anything until you love yourself first.

I love myself and I am a good person.

Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.

Accept yourself, love yourself.
