Wise words have the power to inspire and encourage. We can use them to discover our hidden strengths. Above all, they can help us to reach our full potential. These are a collection of powerful quotes to build confidence. I have found inspiration in these words, and I hope that you do as well.
When I was researching these quotes, I was hunting for the wisest ones. I was less interested in the background of the speaker. In fact, while some come from ancient philosophers and great thinkers, others are just the words of ordinary people. Furthermore, there are video clips from some of the most inspirational moments in film history, including Rocky and Coach Carter.
If you only read these quotes, that is awesome. But you can give these quotes power. After finding the ones that touch you, save them on your phone or write them down. Repeat them to yourself like a mantra. I have found strength in saying some of these words to myself. And sometimes, I’ll say them to others when I see they lack confidence or have doubt. Because in the end, doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
