We tend to feel most comfortable, "most at home", with people whose self esteem level resembles our own.

It would be hard to name a more certain sign of poor self-esteem than the need to perceive some other group as inferior.

Capitalism, by its nature, entails a constant process of motion, growth and progress.

As you grow in self-esteem, your face, manner, way of talking and moving will tend naturally to project the pleasure you take in being alive.

It is painful to face the self we know we have never had the integrity to honor and assert.

Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss.

It is naive to think that self-assertiveness is easy. To live self-assertively--which means to live authentically--is an act of high courage. That is why so many people spend the better part of their lives in hiding--from others and also from themselves.
