~ Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone. Piety is the possibility of the removal of the last traces of a firm foundation upon which we can erect a system of thought. ~ ~ Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.... Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture ... Do not build obstacles in your imagination ... Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can. ~ ~ Always direct your thoughts to those truths that will give you confidence, hope, joy, love, thanksgiving, and turn away your mind from those that inspire you with fear, sadness, depression. ~ ~ Confidence is a very fragile thing. ~ ~ Confidence, like the soul, never returns whence it has once departed ~ ~ Confidence is a plant of slow growth; especially in an aged bosom ~ ~ Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation. ~ ~ Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence ~ ~ Confidence in nonsense is a requirement of the creative process ~ ~ Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. ~ ~ You Canadians have given us such hope to carry on. We admire your bravery. You are the neighbour of such a rich, powerful country, and yet you don't mind clashing with them. Well, that gives us more confidence. ~ ~ Backstabbing occurs when you share a confidence with someone at church only to learn later that the person has told your story on the prayer chain. ~ ~ Women's propensity to share confidences is universal. We confirm our reality by sharing. ~ ~ After an acquaintance of ten minutes many women will exchange confidences that a man would not reveal to a lifelong friend ~ ~ Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future. ~ ~ Don't place too much confidence in the man who boasts of being as honest as the day is long. Wait until you meet him at night. ~ ~ The ways suited to confidence are familiar to me, but not those that are suited to familiarity. ~ ~ Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. ~ ~ Our peace and confidence are to be found not in our empirical holiness, not in our progress toward perfection, but in the alien righteousness of Jesus Christ that covers our sinfulness and alone makes us acceptable before a holy God. ~ ~ There is only one security, and when you've lost that security, you've lost everything you've got. And that is the security of confidence in yourself; to be, to create, to make any position you want to make for yourself. And when you lose that confidence, you've lost the only security you can have. ... Self-confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. And when he hasn't got that, not all the pearls in China nor all the grain and corn in Iowa can give him security, because that's the only security there is. ~ |
