Building a person's self-esteem is the greatest gift you can offer.

Have the courage to be the person you know you are.

The most important things ever said are the things you've said to yourself.

The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. If you can live through that, you can live through anything. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

Your actions will define you even if people decline you.

Confidence in ourselves is perhaps the single most important ingredient for leading a life of success and happiness.
