Never stop loving yourself. Here are 110 self-love quotes to remind you of your worth, and to help you treat yourself with more kindness, compassion, and love.
Loving yourself is both the easiest and hardest thing to do.
There are no prerequisites, conditions, or permission needed to love yourself, yet many of us have created blocks, walls, and reasons not to.
Maybe it was something someone said years ago. Maybe it’s the pressure to always be more, do more, look better. Maybe it’s the fear that self-love makes us selfish.
Whatever the reason may be, remember this: you deserve to love yourself, regardless of what happened in the past, what’s happening now, or what might happen in the future.
I know that might not be easy to accept, but it’s the truth.
And sometimes, we just need a little reminder — a gentle nudge or a few words to help us remind us to be kinder, and loving to ourselves.
Here’s a curated a list of heartwarming self-love quotes to inspire you, ground you, and remind you that you are worthy of self-love.
Why Self-Love Is Important
Self-love is the most selfless thing you can offer to yourself, and to others.
When you’re grounded in unconditional love for yourself, you naturally show up with more kindness, compassion, and positivity. You move from a place of wholeness rather than lack.
The words you speak, the things you do, the energy you emit — it’s all coming from a place of love, and that love radiates from within you and flows into everything you touch.
It’s a ripple effect. A double win.
And everyone benefits.

Remember, you are worthy and you 100% deserve to love yourself.
Always love yourself more, not less.
