  • Stop spending so much time trying to prove what you already know to people who don't really matter. It just makes you look insecure and lacking self-confidence.

  • I didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.

    "What Was Tyra Banks Like at 17?". Interview with Neha Gandhi, www.seventeen.com. September 9, 2011.
  • After my second-to-last record called "The Greatest," I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, not anger towards myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

    "Cat Power: 'I'm Not Ashamed To Hear My Voice'". "Weekend Edition Sunday" with Linda Wertheimer, www.npr.org. August 31, 2012.
  • Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.

  • Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

    Jesus   Men   Long Ago  
  • I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy. Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects in school along with their regular curriculum?

  • Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.

    Harvey Mackay (2011). “The Mackay MBA of Selling in the Real World”, Penguin
  • There is so much love in your heart that you could heal the planet.

  • We are all members of the same flawed species. Putting our moral vision into practice means imposing our will on others. The human lust for power and esteem, coupled with its vulnerability to self-deception and self-righteousness, makes that an invitation to a calamity, all the worse when the power is directed at a goal as quixotic as eradicating human self-interest.

  • It is inevitable when one has a great need of something one finds it. What you need you attract like a lover.

  • Teach your children not to strive for high self-esteem. This is nothing less than teaching them arrogance, conceit and superiority feelings.

  • When I did my first solo show and it made my dad uncomfortable, I wasn't quite ready for my spotlight moment in my life yet. I didn't have enough sense of myself and self-esteem and confidence: this is when I started looking to get my master's in something.

  • Identity is invariably false to facts.

  • I am sure the man who powders most, perfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired. Though to be candid, there are some who have too much good sense to esteem such monkey-like animals as these, in whose formation, as the saying is, the tailors and barbers go halves with God Almighty.

    Animal   Men   Half  
    Thomas Jefferson, Henry Augustine Washington (1858). “The life and letters of Thomas Jefferson: being his autobiography and select correspondence, from original manuscripts”, p.183
  • I hate to see great works of literature ghettoized, whereas others that conform to the rules, conventions, and procedures of the genre we call literary fiction get accorded greater esteem and privilege. I also have a problem with how books are marketed, with certain cover designs and typefaces. They're often stamped with an identity that has nothing to do with their effect on the reader.

    Interview with Elizabeth Benefiel, www.avclub.com. July 5, 2007.
  • I had very low self-esteem. Books saved me. I found friends in stories like The Chronicles of Narnia and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. During lunch hour at school I'd avoid social interactions by sitting on the bathroom sink and reading. My mother worked in my school cafeteria. When my anxiety got really bad, I'd put a coat on, grab my book and a flashlight, and hide in the freezer with the mac and cheese.

  • The most basic activism we can have in our lives is to live consciously in a nation living in fantasies. Living consciously is living with a core of healthy self-esteem. You will face reality, you will not delude yourself.

    "The BK Nation INTERVIEW with bell hooks". Interview with Kevin Powell, bknation.org. February 28, 2014.
  • Books, like proverbs, receive their chief value from the stamp and esteem of the ages through which they have passed.

  • Feeling essentially superior to other people is as sure a sign of poor self-esteem as feeling essentially inferior.

  • If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

    Abraham Lincoln (1992). “The Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln”, Plume

  • If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

    "Kathy Ireland: Designing Woman". Interview with Lisa Ryan, www.cbn.com.
  • Let us not esteem worldly prosperity or adversity as things real or of any moment, but let us live elsewhere, and raise all our attention to Heaven; esteeming sin as the only true evil, and nothing truly good, but virtue which unites us to God.
