That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.
We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.
Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best.
The more refined and subtle our minds, the more vulnerable they are.
We're generally overconfident in our opinions and our impressions and judgments.
We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.
Our problem is not to find better values but to be faithful to those we profess.
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Self-esteem comes quietly, like the truth.
We are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.
