We are exactly what our history made us to be. - Stephen Richards, Boost Your Self Esteem

"Our own self-esteem is something we can actually twist in whatever way we want."

"If someone does not consider those around them to be valuable and hold only themselves in high regard, they too have a very bad self-esteem."

"Failing to make it to the list of the best 5 students in class or not being named the team captain should not make anyone feel like they have failed."

"For us to regard others as worthy, we have to begin by regarding ourselves as worthy."

"Whatever you lay your hands on, self-esteem is visible."
