conformity quotes by RALPH WALDO EMERSON-1476597759

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.



conformity quotes by LYDIA MARIA CHILD-1476592095

Nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles. Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike.

conformity quotes by CHRISTOPHER MORLEY-1476424678

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.

Confidence Quotes by GENE FOWLER-1476377935

Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves.



Confidence Quotes by MARIANNE WILLIAMSON-1476376310

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.



Confidence Quotes by KAREN RAVN-1476369077

Only as high as I reach can I grow,Only as far as I seek can I go,Only as deep as I look can I see,Only as much as I dream can I be.

Confidence Quotes by E.F. SCHUMACHER-1476355047

Pay no attention to what the critics say. A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.



Confidence Quotes by HENRY MILLER-1476207068

Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there.

Confidence Quotes by ASTRID ALAUDA-1476033050

I've spent most of my life walking under that hovering cloud, jealousy, whose acid raindrops blurred my vision and burned holes in my heart. Once I learned to use the umbrella of confidence, the skies cleared up for me and the sunshine called joy became my faithful companion.

Confidence Quotes by MIGNON MCLAUGHLIN-1476026800
