About This Quote
The one great art is that of making a complete human being of oneself. Brushing your teeth, tying your shoes and brushing your hair are just the skeleton! The only way to make yourself healthy and beautiful is through the person you are. You need to know how to live. You need to know what you like and what you don’t like. You need to be able to do all things in life with self-confidence.
