It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
Vince Lombardi
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.
Bruce Barton
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
Mark Twain
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
Elbert Hubbard
Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.
Samuel Johnson
Blow your own horn loud. If you succeed, people will forgive your noise; if you fail, they'll forget it.
William Feather
Fight! Be somebody! If you have lost confidence in yourself, make believe you are somebody else, somebody that's got brains, and act like him.
Sol Hess
Man must be arched and buttressed from within, else the temple will crumble to dust.
Marcus Aurelius
The percentage of mistakes in quick decisions is no greater than in long-drawn-out vacillations, and the effect of decisiveness itself "makes things go" and creates confidence.
Anne McCormick
This country [America] was not built by men who relied on somebody else to take care of them. It was built by men who relied on themselves, who dared to shape their own lives, who had enough courage to blaze new trails - enough confidence in themselves to take the necessary risks.
J. Ollie Edmunds
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
King Whitney Jr.
I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.
Bette Davis
To be ambitious for wealth, and yet always expecting to be poor; to be always doubting your ability to get what you long for, is like trying to reach east by traveling west. There is no philosphy which will help man to succeed when he is always doubting his ability to do so, and thus attracting failure. No matter how hard you work for success, if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible.
Charles Baudouin
Practice audacity in all things. Acting with courage builds your courage and confidence higher and higher.
Brian Tracy
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This is the source.
All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble.
William Halsey
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
Cicero
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.
Arnold Bennett
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
Theodore Roosevelt
Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline.
Jim Rohn
You start developing a championship attitude by, first of all, telling kids that they are really good and that they have the potential to become better.
Mike Krzyzewski
Self-trust comes from listening to your intuition, to your "still, small voice" within. Men and women begin to become great when they begin to listen to their inner voices and absolutely trust that they are being guided by a higher power each step of the way.
Brian Tracy
Overcoming self-limiting beliefs and self-imposed limitations is often the biggest obstacle standing between you and the realization of your full potential.
Brian Tracy
The primary antidotes to doubt and fear are courage and confidence.
Brian Tracy
The more you learn what you need to know to achieve your goals, the less fear you will feel on the one hand and the more courage and confidence you will feel on the other.
Brian Tracy
When you confront your fears and move toward what you are afraid of, your fears diminish while at the same time your self esteem and self confidence increases.
Brian Tracy
While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
Henry Link
Confidence must be monitored so that it does not spoil or rot and turn to arrogance.
John Wooden

Paul Meyer
I have a no limitations belief in my Creator, a no limitations belief in myself, a no limitations belief in other people, and a no limitations belief in what we can do together.
Paul Meyer
I'm kind of what you call an inverted paranoid. I just believe everybody in the world is out to get me and help me do whatever I want to do. I think everybody wants to be my partner. I think everybody wants to be my customer. When I walk up to a door I visualize a red carpet rolled out and two trumpeters standing on each side and the person inside waiting to do business with me, because he not only wants to buy from me; he wants to be my friend.
Paul Meyer
If a man has the right attitude, even if he is average, he'll work hard enough to play well. As long as he thinks he can be good, that's all that counts.
Bear Bryant
To accomplish a great task, you must step out in faith and have complete confidence that your next step will soon become clear to you.
Brian Tracy
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
Sam Walton
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Timothy Ferriss
This is the source.
The deep root of failure in our lives is to think, 'Oh how useless and powerless I am.' It is essential to think strongly and forcefully, 'I can do it,' without boasting or fretting.
Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso
The less confident you are, the more serious you have to act.
