Bíodh meas agat ort féin

My comment:

I have understood the meaning of the English phrase to be "Hold your own person/self in esteem" and translated it accordingly. It is often quite difficult to translate such concise English (and other language) phrases into Irish because of the very different structure of the language. The literal translation of "Love thyself" would be easy to express as "Gráigh tú féin" but the resultant meaning in Irish would be suspect!
