Gaining Confidence

Famous quotes containing the words gaining and/or confidence:

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

“There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
