You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection

Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment

The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are

Build up your credit Build up your self esteem Build up your bank account Moving up in the scene Everyone's living the American Dream so we can Build up an army And SMASH it to pieces

It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit by good advice as to know how to act for one's self

In any culture, subculture, or family in which belief is valued above thought, and self-surrender is valued above self-expression, and conformity is valued above integrity, those who preserve their self-esteem are likely to be heroic exceptions

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others it is in yourself alone

Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself
