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

If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions – for the fun of it – then one day you’ll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!

God didn’t make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

Confidence comes from discipline and training.

Chinese combatants, men and women, inheritors of a millennial culture, are people of uncommon intelligence and an invincible spirit of struggle.

If you learn a martial art, you learn to be dangerous, but simultaneously, you learn to control it.

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.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.

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

I have a self-defense mind. I’ve had it all my life.

I’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.

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.

To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.

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 never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.

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.

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.

I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.

I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

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.

I have nothing to declare except my genius.

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

The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.

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

It never mattered to me that people in school didn’t think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it – though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, ‚I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.‘

I realised a little bit to my astonishment that I can give a lecture for a thousand people, and there will be this tumultuous applause, so, you know, I have the feeling well, it can’t be all that bad.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

I’m not afraid to look bad on the screen.

Bob Houghton is a great coach and I am confident that the national team will do well under him.

I’ve used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool… but that’s just natural.

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star.

People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

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

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

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.

The thing about Jiu Jitsu is it is also not for everybody. It can be very humiliating and humbling. If you have a hard time dealing with the fact that someone smaller than you may be able to tap you out, it is going to be difficult.

I’m crazy and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

People say that I’m a boxer. I actually started with kick boxing, and then I moved onto boxing, and then I moved onto grappling.

All wars signify the failure of conflict resolution mechanisms, and they need post-war rebuilding of faith, trust and confidence.

I say that in the most humble way: I always knew that I could perform with the best of ‚em and I could deliver with the best of ‚em.

If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.

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.

My unpredictability is what separates me. If you move in so many ways, your opponent is not focused on what he’s doing. He’s focusing in on what you’re doing, and it freezes him. When they freeze and you hit, they shatter like glass.

Bragging just sounds good, man.

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.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.

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.

I feel confident imposing change on myself. It’s a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That’s why I need to throw curve balls.

When I step forward on the floor, I have the confidence that I’m the best player playing that night and that I am the most prepared at what I need to be doing.

But by reading them again and again finally I was able to grasp the essential part. What emotion, enthusiasm, enlightenment and confidence they communicated to me! I wept for joy.

There’s no reason why I can’t be a mogul. When I step into a room and I’m there to have a conversation, if it pertains to business, I want to be respected as a guy who knows what he’s talking about. And that, to me, holds more weight than anything else.

I guess I have a little bit of an ego. I’m confidently cocky, you might say.

Never be ashamed! There’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth bothering with.

My fat never made me less money.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don’t know you think.

I don’t want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.
