The church says the earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence even in a shadow than in the church.
~ Ferdinand Magellan
When you take the high road to living a virtuous life, you are fortified by knowing that regardless of what life throws your way or what storms may rage, you are grounded in goodness. In this, you secure not only your own integrity, but you secure it in the eyes others.
~ Susan C. Young
Think of the people whom you love, like, trust, and admire. Isn’t their integrity the golden thread which elevates them to a higher standard in your eyes and in your heart?
1. “Being able to depend on a person’s integrity lays a solid foundation for a relationship built on trust, both in business and in life.
7. “When a foundation is built following sound structural principles, with solid, high-quality materials, anything that is layered on top is more secure, durable, and resilient. Your integrity works the same way.
When a foundation is built following sound structural principles, with solid, high-quality materials, anything that is layered on top is more secure, durable, and resilient. Your integrity works the same way.
As with construction, your personal integrity is the firm foundation upon which you can build a strong character, rewarding life, and healthy relationships.
Through change and challenge, if our personal foundations are built with quality virtues of character and integrity, we are more resilient, healthy, and ultimately more impressive.
Throughout the history of mankind, the virtues embraced by humanity have remained true, unwavering, and consistent.
While many may claim that these virtues are old-fashioned, they are essential materials for building a solid and worthwhile foundation for your life that will never go out of style.
Our modern-day society is often so consumed with external appearances that living a virtuous life may sound boring and dull. However, the love and beauty that lies deep within the human spirit resonates with plain and simple goodness.
Integrity, once tarnished, or broken, is hard to recover.
While having a strong character foundation may not sell newspapers, increase TV ratings, or make a person famous, it's essential for building a life that is meaningful and matters.
Have you ever known a person who was highly intelligent, yet their lack of character destroyed your impression of them? Even though they may have been accomplished, articulate, and knowledgeable, their words became impotent and irrelevant.
Making money and being prosperous is a wonderful place to be, but not at the expense of your ethics, integrity, and reputation. It is simply not worth it. It nixes any chance of creating trusted working relationships.
Integrity is a most valued human quality.
Your integrity is your personal code of honor and has the power to build your reputation or destroy it, establish credibility or crumble it—in one swift move.
Your personal integrity, defined as being honest and having strong moral principles, communicates whether (or not) you can be trusted.

Dagny leaned back in her chair. The short sentence was a shock. It was not merely relief: it was the sudden realization that nothing else was necessary to guarantee that it would be done; she needed no proofs, no questions, no explanations; a complex problem could rest safely on three syllables pronounced by a man who knew what he was saying.
~ Ayn Rand
Not only believe in yourself but trust in yourself. Confidence will bloom.
~ Debasish Mridha
Faith is, believing there is still a star out there to wish on, just for you, tucked away behind dark clouds.
~ Anthony Liccione
People with anxiety and trust issues find themselves drawn to people of consistency because they feel safe with someone who is predictable. However, that doesn’t cure their problem. The anxious person still remains the same because anxiety is a wave that crashes on the shore every time an unpredictable circumstance challenges their expectations and comfort zone.
~ Shannon L. Alder
The changes we make in life often happen when we have a degree of certainty. However, the pain of our past failures and the fears of our peers often fuel our uncertainty. This inability to predict the future is why people find themselves stuck and unable to move forward. They don't want to feel the emotions of failure. They prefer to talk themselves into settling for an okay life, rather than the life they really want. However, failure is a matter of perspective! Is it not failure when you don't take a chance on the one thing you need? There is no happiness in regret, staying safe or settling for anything less than what you can have through action.
The things that challenge our trust in God also, challenge our confidence within ourselves.
~ Ellen J. Barrier
When someone reacts violently and aggressively, it only goes to demonstrate the lack of truth, trust and confidence in oneself and issue that we are defending. It rather portrays the guilt, shame and self anger for defending the indefensible.
~ Vishwas Chavan
Trust, is the stone thrown into the sea, sinking deep in all its murkiness, unable to see what it once lived and believed to be a promise.
I can't say I have any confidence in confidence. I have confidence that God is with us in all things, both tender and tough.
~ Jan Karon
If you build the faith to trust a friend as God, then your heart can never be broken.
~ Michael Bassey Johnson
In a race between danger and indecision, the difference between life and death comes down to confidence. Faith in our abilities, certainty in ourselves and the trust we put in others.
~ Emily Thorne
Why do women waste their time trying to convince their insecure family members and girlfriends that they are beautiful? Self esteem is not a beauty cream that you can rub all over them and see instant results. Instead, convince them they are not stupid. Every intelligent woman knows outward beauty is a nip, tuck, chemical peel or diet away. If you don't like it, fix it.
The best advice is to be yourself, but to be your best self.
~ Thomas E. Sanders
Trust yourself, because society always corrupt our confidence.
~ Al-Hanouf Halawi
Trust. And be trusted.
~ Richie Norton
Mohammad never assigned himself a status more than a common man and a messenger of God. People had faith in him when he was surrounded by poverty and adversity and trusted him while he was the ruler of a great Empire. He was a man of spotless character who always had confidence in himself and in God's help. No aspect of his life remained hidden nor was his death a mysterious event.
~ M.h. Hyndman
Rule 2: Genuine confidence is not the absence of fear, it is a transformed relationship with fear.
