- Confidence is conqueror of men; victorious both over them and in them;
- The iron will of one stout heart shall make a thousand quail;
- A feeble dwarf, dauntlessly resolved, will turn the tide of battle,
- And rally to a nobler strife the giants that had fled.
MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER, Proverbial Philosophy of Faith
He who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.
PIERRE-CLAUDE-VICTOR BOISTE, Oeuvres
If men are lacking in self-confidence, it is generally from an over-estimate of the difficulties before them, or from an under-estimate of their ability to overcome the obstacles in their way. Many noble and talented men and women fail in their lifework by an under-estimate of their possibilities.
NICIAS BALLARD COOKSEY, Helps to Happiness
- Trust in thine own untried capacity
- As thou wouldst trust in God himself. Thy soul
- Is but an emanation from the whole.
- Thou dost not dream what forces lie in thee,
- Vast and unfathomed as the grandest sea.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX, "Achievement"
