Confidence Values

Famous quotes containing the words confidence and/or values:

“I see advertisements for active young men, as if activity were the whole of a young man’s capital.

What a doubtful compliment this to pay me!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

in the rain incendiary,
other values were revealed to us,”
