A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

There was a period in my life when I would say no, and I didn't know why I was saying no. In most cases, it was out of fear, just trying to be safe. Because 'no' will keep you safe. 'No' won't draw attention to you. But all the cool things are on the other side of 'Yes, And.'
There are too many things I find it difficult to say 'no' to.
Unless someone truly has the power to say no, they never truly have the power to say yes.
'No' is an entire sentence in itself. No means no, and when somebody says it, you need to stop.
Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.

The oldest, shortest words - 'yes' and 'no' - are those which require the most thought.
Every time I say 'no' to a small temptation, I strengthen my will to say 'no' to a greater one.
'No' is the second shortest word in the English language, but one of the hardest to say.
Perhaps the only thing in my favor is that I am very tenacious. I don't take 'no' very well.
