Quotes about confidence
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.
- Sven Goran Eriksson
To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.
- Author unknown
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of
God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so people won’t feel insecure around you. We
were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just
in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize
them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked

beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately
honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive
from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We
are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to
open up, to discover what is already there.

None of our men are ‘experts’. We have most unfortunately found it
necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because
no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who
knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always
pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and
how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do
more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one
gets into the ‘expert’ state of mind a great number of things become
impossible.
- Henry Ford Sr.
We are too busy mopping the floor to turn off the faucet.

- Japanese proverb.
When people say to me: “How do you do so many things?” I often answer
them, without meaning to be cruel: “How do you do so little?” It seems to
me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary
things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t.
They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.
- Philip Adams

into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to
persevere.
