Study to be what you wish to seem.

To preserve an unclouded capacity for the enjoyment of life is an unusual moral and psychological achievement. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the prerogative of mindlessness, but the exact opposite: It is the reward of self-esteem.

Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves.

In my day, we didn't have self-esteem, we had self-respect... and no.

While we are indifferent to our good qualities, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults, until we come to look on them as virtues.

A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having.

He that undervalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.

We are valued in this world at the rate we desire to be valued.

Seriously, I do not think I fit for the presidency.

Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.

I'll always be number 1 to myself.

Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.

Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.

Until you value yourself you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Creation is a better means of self-expression than possession; it is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.

No one can disgrace us but ourselves.

I am as my creator made me and since He is satisfied, so am I.

The greatest success, is successful self acceptance.

The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with our self-image.

The most difficult We do not deal in facts when we are contemplating ourselves.

Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate.

Blessed are they who heal us of self-despising. Of all services which can be done to man, I know of none more precious.

All the extraordinary men I have known were extraordinary in their own estimation.
