You can receive all the compliments in the world, but that won't do a thing unless you believe it yourself.

The actual confident man, the man truly sure of himself, is not he who esteems himself higher than others, but he who is sure enough that he can bear to esteem others higher than himself.

when you believe in
yourself, other people will believe in
you, too.

If you're capable of despising your own behavior, you might just love yourself.

I believe that love--not imitation--is the sincerest form of flattery. Your imitator thinks that you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can't.

The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.
