Gaining Confidence

Famous quotes containing the words gaining and/or confidence:

“So we see
That all things change, one nation gaining strength
While others perish.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.”
—Clark Gable (1901–1960)
