Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

Amy WinehouseWhy am I a star? It can’t be because of looks.
Clint EastwoodI didn’t come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it’s sickening.
Mr. TIf 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!
Joyce MeyerI’m not a centerfold.
Frank OceanI 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.
Michelle ObamaIf I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.
Dolly PartonNever fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.
George Bernard ShawThere’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.
Kevin HartIf 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!
Richard P. FeynmanOnly the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale CarnegieI 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.
Conor McGregorJapan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve JobsTwenty-six million Russians died in the defense of their homeland against the Nazis.
Fidel CastroNatural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.
Francis BaconSelf-respect knows no considerations.
Mahatma GandhiI promise you, I will have something on the Internet that is game-changing. I can’t lose.
Kevin HartNo one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

Joyce MeyerDisarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.

Henry KissingerCastro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
Richard M. NixonI have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.
George CarlinThe proper study of Mankind is Man.
Alexander PopeWhatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.
Brian TracyI did study religion for a little while. I studied the Torah and the Holy Koran, Helios Biblos, which is considered by most people to be the Holy Bible. I just wanted to know, even with Buddhism and the Dalai Llama.
Kevin GatesBe courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
George WashingtonIt’s not bragging if you can back it up.
Muhammad AliSome folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called ‚walking.‘
George W. BushUnless 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.
Virat KohliWhat convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI’m confident with my ability.
LeBron JamesThe man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI think I am the greatest fighter in any class. I know I can hold two, maybe even three belts.
Conor McGregorI am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
Karl LagerfeldI’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.
Lady GagaWar should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
Niccolo MachiavelliThe first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don’t mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.
John RuskinPeople 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.
Dolly PartonI 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.
Golda MeirI was everything an R&B singer wasn’t. I wasn’t in shape. I wasn’t a pretty boy.

Lando NorrisBoldness be my friend.
William ShakespeareI 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.
Emily DickinsonEvery day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It’s a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.
Haruki MurakamiExperience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
Friedrich NietzscheThere 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.
Nelson MandelaI always have confidence, whether I miss four in a row or make four in a row, that the next one’s going in. To a coach, sometimes that might not make sense.
Stephen CurryIf we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.
Marcus Tullius CiceroAll wars signify the failure of conflict resolution mechanisms, and they need post-war rebuilding of faith, trust and confidence.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamThe circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.
James Madison
