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

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

Most of the confidence which I appear to feel, especially when influenced by noon wine, is only a pretense.

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.

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.

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called ‚walking.‘

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

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

We can approach God’s throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

Honestly, I always believed in myself. For real, for real.

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.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‚I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.‘

I hate what I look like on TV, and I want to look better, and nothing makes the mothers more jealous.

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.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

I have a deep, deep belief that if I tell you I’m going to crack you with a clean shot to the chin inside one minute of the first round and you will be unconscious, well, then that’s what will happen.

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.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

I felt like, for so many years – and I still even feel it – as a girl, you can’t really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.

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

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

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.

I don’t fear anybody… at all.

I’d rather give my life than be afraid to give it.

Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.

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.

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

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don’t know what’s goin‘ on, I then got the money, and gone.

A lot of people ask me, ‚How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?‘ It’s because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they’re gonna say no to you, at least they’re gonna be polite about it.

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.

I’m very good at what I do, and I don’t turn my hand to something unless I’m very good at it, frankly.

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.

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

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

I don’t want people to think of me as sexy.

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.

Every man I meet is in some way my superior.

I’m never nervous.

I was everything an R&B singer wasn’t. I wasn’t in shape. I wasn’t a pretty boy.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.

I’m much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it’s certainly not easy.

In my videos, I always want to be a powerful woman. That’s my mission.

I grew up around lots of men – my father, my brothers, my uncles – so I wasn’t intimidated by them.

The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror!

I like to feel blonde all over.

Confidentially, the type of male I find most enjoyable for a friend is one who has enough fire and assurance to speak up for his convictions.

I’m not a centerfold.

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.

I’m not trying to be sexy. It’s just my way of expressing myself when I move around.

Unless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.

Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.

My confidence is easy to shake. I am very well aware of all of my flaws. I am aware of all the insecurities that I have.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.

I don’t know if I’ve ever cared much what others think.

Let me tell you what I literally told every world leader I’ve met with, and I’ve met them all: It’s never, never, never been a good bet to bet against America. We have the finest fighting force in the world.
