Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes

There's nothing that anyone could say about me that would hurt my feelings.

I have never given others a chance to exploit me.

I basically built myself up and I'm not about to let somebody else tear me down.

At some point, I had to ignore what people thought of me. I had to be my own biggest fan from an early age. Once I learned that, it was like a superpower. That was the armor that got me through high school.

I don't need to be liked.

I had to learn how to trust my gut. Trust what I know to be right... not right, but not waver on who I am. Know who I am, know what I want, and know it. Not waver on it and be secure in that. And I still struggle with it. But I really... I can't be moved. You can't move me, and that all comes with loving myself, and I'm like my best buddy.

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

I used to think that one of the great signs of security was the ability to just walk away.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.

You cannot let people come up in your face and stop you.

I'm tired of defending my character. I am what I am.

Trust in yourself.

I know who I am and I've always been comfortable in my own skin.

You have enough people against you... be for yourself.

When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

Self-preservation is an important thing to me.

Fortunately, I've always had self-belief.

Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.

I have a natural resistance to being humiliated.

I've lost a lot of teeth and square yards of hide. But I've never lost my self-respect, and I've kept what I find in few men of my age - my enthusiasm.

Now I feel like whatever I do, no one can hurt me. I cannot be violated, I cannot be humiliated, I cannot be disregarded, I cannot be disrespected.

I know I've got to learn to believe in myself.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.

Don't listen to what other people say about you negatively!

I'm not gonna apologize for who I am and what I've gone through.
