Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.

I think the best way to have confidence is not to allow everyone else's insecurities to be your own.

Honesty is seldom ingratiating and often discomfiting.

However greatly we distrust the sincerity of those we converse with, yet still we think they tell more truth to us than to anyone else.

It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better.

Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect.

Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

Confidence is a very fragile thing.
