“Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinions they form of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves.”
“Our opinion of people depends less upon what we see in them, than upon what they make us see in ourselves”
“pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
“Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.”
“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”
“Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act. It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions, in a time when all ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and do not know whether to believe in truth and right and God.”
