“Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence”
“Love is a cheap word. Anyone can say it, and few truly know what it means.”
“If you want me, you'll have to earn me. And, mister, I don't come cheap.”
“Earning trust is not easy, nor is it cheap, nor does it happen quickly. Earning trust is hard and demanding work. Trust comes only with genuine effort, never with a lick and a promise.”
“Having interests translates as confidence to do and be things on your own without expecting a man to do and be for you. And confidence is attractive. Not to mention independence.”
“Self-confidence is not taught or learned; it is earned by surpassing your own self-limitations.”
