Attitude Quote by Charlie Chaplin

“As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health - food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is Love of Oneself.” quote by Charlie Chaplin
