Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

Summary

This quote suggests that the value we bring to others is directly linked to the value we have cultivated within ourselves. If we have invested time and effort in self-improvement, self-care, personal growth, and self-love, we are more likely to have the knowledge, confidence, and resources to positively influence and contribute to the lives of others. Conversely, if we neglect ourselves and haven't developed our own sense of worth and fulfillment, we are less likely to have much value or support to offer others. Ultimately, by investing in ourselves, we can become valuable contributors to the well-being of those around us.

The joy is still there when I see Sean. He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all his things. But he is my biggest pride.
