Confidence Quotes

“Words could not express how pleased and touched Dan was by this confidence and praise. No one had ever trusted him before, no one had cared to find out and foster the good in him, and no one had suspected how much there was hidden away in the breast of the neglected boy, going fast to ruin, yet quick to feel and value sympathy and help. No honor that he might earn hereafter would ever be half so precious as the right to teach his few virtues and his small store of learning to the child whom he most respected; and no more powerful restraint could have been imposed upon him than the innocent companion confided to his care.”

“Confidence is a word born of a deeply primal wish. And it is rendered a wish simply because it is rarely a reality. We long for it. We hope for it. We engage in a myriad number of situations hoping against all hope that we can have confidence in whatever it is that we’ve chosen to engage in. Yet, the confidence that we are most often left with is the confidence that we cannot be confident. And the single exception that I have found is the God who was confident enough in me to be all things confident for me.”

“I've always wondered why we defend our weaknesses and slight our greatness. We never try 'hard enough' and even prevent our friends and family from trying to achieve their greatness by doubting and laughing at their dreams and ambitions, yet complain about the world being unfair for us. What kind of mental illness is this, and why has it become normal, so that we can't even recognize it?”

“Getting a good support crew around you can be helpful to develop self-confidence. For athletes, support might come in the form of positive feedback and encouragement from trusted and respected individuals, such as a coach, teammate, family member, or friend.”

“Life changes and often we just have to go with the flow not knowing its course. Things can change because there is something better or different for us and if we don’t follow our leanings then that which once seemed fine will start to feel unsatisfactory and will dismantle because it is not right for us anymore. It becomes a burden rather than the blessing it once was. We have to trust that as we were cared for in the past, we will be cared for in the future.”

“When a girl or woman starts telling you her personal life she does not need a solution. She just wants you to listen. She trusts you and she just wants you to give her some time. Don't give her any solution unless she asks you for it. Women and girls usually don't trust a lot of people. So if she is sharing her personal concerns with you then it means that she really trusts you. For a girl or woman to share her personal stuff with you needs a lot of trust and confidence. Be happy to have her trust and confidence in life”

“As with construction, your personal integrity is the firm foundation upon which you can build a strong character, rewarding life, and healthy relationships.”

“Through change and challenge, if our personal foundations are built with quality virtues of character and integrity, we are more resilient, healthy, and ultimately more impressive.”
