A lot of people don't have people to tell them, 'You're the best, and nobody can beat you.' You gotta have a lot of confidence to tell your fighter that. And you have to make a fighter believe he's the best to be the best.

When people tell you who they are, Maya Angelou famously advised, believe them. Just as importantly, however, when people try to tell you who you are, don’t believe them. You are the only custodian of your own integrity, and the assumptions made by those that misunderstand who you are and what you stand for reveal a great deal about them and absolutely nothing about you.

Maria Popova

People tell me I'm a perfectionist. They tell me I'm too extreme and that I work too hard. I tell them, that is all I know how to do. I was taught to give my best effort in everything I do and demand perfection and raise the standard of excellence to a whole new level.

Most people tell you they want to get out of kindergarten, but don't believe them. Don't believe them! All they want you to do is to mend their broken toys. "Give me back my wife. Give me back my job. Give me back my money. Give me back my reputation, my success." This is what they want; they want their toys replaced. That's all. Even the best psychologist will tell you that, that people don't really want to be cured. What they want is relief; a cure is painful.

Anthony de Mello

If you love people, if you love the country, if you believe that everybody in the country contributes to making it great - if you love everybody and you want the best for them and if you know how they can achieve the best for them - you can't be afraid to tell them.

Rush Limbaugh
