If you face life without confidence in your own powers, you succumb too easily to setbacks and adversity; you lack the will to persevere.
Nathaniel BrandenWhether in the workplace or in personal relationships, success belongs to those who are willing to take responsibility for attaining their desires-those who respond to life actively rather than passively.
Nathaniel BrandenThe desire for self-esteem without integrity is like the desire for wealth without effort-a longing for the unearned.
Nathaniel BrandenThe lies most devastating to our self-esteem are not so much the lies we tell as the lies we live.
