Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.
I don't like people who speak or think in terms of gaining anybody's confidence. If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception. The person who craves a moral blank check of that kind, has dishonest intentions, whether he admits it to himself or not.
Confidence is preparation in action.
A leader's ability to convey confidence and his ability to communicate effectively are similar.
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
You're always going to face criticism, you're always going to face challenges, but those things are there to make you stronger and more committed.
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today. So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.
The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence but of the coherence of the story the mind has managed to construct.

I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas.
Confidence is the feeling we have before knowing all the facts
Your confidence grows as you get older, particularly when you're in a loving relationship. Everything strengthens.
Maturity: the confidence to have no opinions on many things.
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.
I don't think anybody's had the confidence that we'd ever be able to make a dent in homelessness. We've just come to accept that we manage homelessness, that we try to make it less bad, but we never make it better.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
The churches have no confidence in each other. Why? Because they are acquainted with each other.
I wrote "Bootylicious" because, at the time, I'd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn't be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun, and the song was just telling everyone to forget what people are saying, you're bootylicious. That's all. It's a celebration of curves and a celebration of women's bodies.
