True Self-Worth

No one can make you inferior without your consent. - Eleanor Roosevelt

No amount of self-improvement can make up for a lack of self-acceptance. - Robert Holden

We cannot consistently live in a manner that is inconsistent with the way we see ourselves. - John C. Maxwell

The butterfly often forgets it was a caterpillar. - Swedish proverb

The fountain of contentment must spring up in the mind. He who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove.
- Samuel Johnson

Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish. - Sam Walton

If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you. - Coach Bear Bryant

Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little. - Edmund Burke

If you like yourself, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. - Janet Evans
[And,… if you don’t like yourself, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.]

We get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position. - A.W. Tozer
