“To be around someone whose self-confidence is more than what our first glance led us to expect is seductive.”

“It's not what I expected," he said. "They're far more organized than our intelligence had led us to believe.”

“we learn best by placing our 'confidence in men and women whose examples invite us to love what they love'(Robert Wilken).”

“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”

“More and more, it seems to me that compassion dwells in the tough, not the tender-hearted, because it requires us to come to terms with our own capacity (or incapacity) for suffering, and it calls for action rather than sentiment. It also requires us to get past the guilt and resentment we feel when we come face to face with someone whose suffering is greater than our own.”

“Self belief is directly proportional to confidence i.e more the self belief more is the confidence and less of it will lessen the confidence. Success gets attracted to persons with high self belief.”
