No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.

One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

The man of authentic self-confidence is the man who relies on the judgment of his own mind. Such a man is not malleable; he may be mistaken, he may be fooled in a given instance, but he is inflexible in regard to the absolutism of reality, i.e., in seeking and demanding truth.

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined…

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Fortune befriends the bold.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

I wish I could show you…the astonishing light of your own being.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.

If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.

Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.

Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Self-esteem does not come from surrounding yourself with people and things that seem to increase your value. Real self-esteem is an integration of an inner-value with things in the world around you.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

Confidence is the mark of a hopeful disposition.

With greater confidence in yourself and your abilities, you will set bigger goals, make bigger plans and commit yourself to achieving objectives that today you only dream about.

Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.
