The founders of our religion made this a cornerstone of morality. The admonition: love they neighbour as thyself, and do as you would be done by, expresses this. You will note that it does not denigrate self, or elevate love of others above it. On the contrary, it sees concern for self and responsibility for self as something to be expected, and asks only that this be extended to others. This embodies the great truth that self-regard is the root of regard for one's fellows.“ — Margaret Thatcher „The money-getter who pleads his love of work has a lame defense, for love of work at money-getting is a lower taste than love of money.“ — Ambrose Bierce „Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.“ — Fulton J. Sheen „Banish'd from [those we love] Is self from self: a deadly banishment!“ — William Shakespeare „Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.“ — William Shakespeare
