I don’t worry. I don’t doubt. I’m daring. I’m a rebel.

It’s not bragging if you can back it up.

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.

A lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.

I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.

Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

I think I am the greatest fighter in any class. I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts.

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Only the insecure strive for security.

There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

Because of my wrestling background, nothing a director can throw at me on a set can faze me.

I’ve never been an intellectual but I have this look.

I think style is being so comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. That’s what style is, ‚cause everybody’s got different style.

I just don’t feel like I have to explain myself.

I don’t think anybody in America ought to be scared.

I’m not the most attractive fella. I’m not a Billy Dee Williams. Personality is everything.

I’m not comparing myself with anyone, but I am very confident about my captaincy, as I have already led India and in the IPL also. I have confidence I can bring out each player’s ability fully and also give them a lot of confidence… I would like to stick to what I know best and what I have confidence in.

Nothing really scares me, to be honest.

One of life’s terrible truths is that women like guys who seem to know what they’re doing.

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he’s showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it’s confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn’t feel like he deserves to be there.

Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.

A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.

I am growing handsome very fast indeed! I expect I shall be the belle of Amherst when I reach my 17th year. I don’t doubt that I shall have perfect crowds of admirers at that age. Then how I shall delight to make them await my bidding, and with what delight shall I witness their suspense while I make my final decision.

Bragging just sounds good, man.

I don’t see that my majority opinions are going to be undone.

Self-respect: the secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious.

Clothing & fashion are kind of my security blanket, almost.

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

We have an epidemic of insecure people in our society today.

To me, if you’re trying to impress a girl, get a date, they’re gonna like that more because you’re a confident guy. That’s what it comes down to.

People make jokes about my bosoms, why don’t they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It’s obvious I’ve got big ones and if people want to assume they’re not mine, then let them.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Accept everything about yourself – I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end – no apologies, no regrets.

Being young is a great advantage, since we see the world from a new perspective and we are not afraid to make radical changes.

The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‚em, ‚Certainly I can!‘ Then get busy and find out how to do it.

Success is the child of audacity.

I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-90-year old.

The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you’re wrinkled.

Boldness be my friend.

Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

You listen to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane before they found their voice, they sounded different. And when you listen to them after they found their voice on their instruments, they sound more confident and in control. Artists have that, too.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.

I won’t be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn’t mean I want them to stop looking.

I love women with attitude.

Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

In my heart, I’m confident I could make a good president.

Yes, some people say to me you’re too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.

Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.

A master performer like Bill Clinton never lost sight of the fact that as president he had to project confidence and power, but if he was speaking to a group of autoworkers he would adjust his accent and his words to fit the audience, and do the same for a group of executives.

For a long time, I thought I was ugly and disfigured. This made me shy and timid, and I often reacted to insults that were not intended.
