Stubborn isn't a word I would use to describe myself; pigheaded is more appropriate.

He makes a great mistake... who supposes that authority is firmer or better established when it is founded by force than that which is welded by affection.

I am... stubborn, and I admit it, so it's OK.

I like to be firm. But it is easier to be nice than to be nasty.

I am a little - I won't say arrogant - self-assured.

Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.

Men like to squash you. I just want someone who's happy with himself, happy with his life. He doesn't have to squash mine.
