Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.

When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991 I was confident that women would play an ever more important role but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.

Action and reaction ebb and flow trial and error change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence fear out of our fear clearer vision fresh hope. And out of hope progress.

I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into turn one every lap with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.

Buying a car used to be an experience so soul-scorching so confidence-splattering so existentially rattling that an entire car company was based on the promise that you wouldn't have to come in contact with it.

I think naturally if you're an actor there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive and there's strength and confidence.

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.

When you look good you feel good. Confidence with what you're wearing is very important. If you feel good you will always perform your best without worrying about anything.

The promises of this world are for the most part vain phantoms and to confide in one's self and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.

I feel by posing for Playboy I've discovered my own sexuality and beauty and I feel more confident than ever.

I was never an ambitious girl or even a self-confident one. I never went in for beauty pageants or wore a stitch of make-up until I went to Los Angeles.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress and I still do.

Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.

Even when I'm playing someone named Fat Amy I'm all about confidence and attitude.

My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident and that helps.

Magic is the oldest part of the show business profession. It can now be used as a forward-thinking tool to build a child's confidence. It has been an amazing part in many entertainers' lives including Steve Martin and the late Johnny Carson.

I was terribly shy when I was growing up I really wasn't confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool amazing person that I wanted to be.

My mother is an amazing woman. Not only did she manage the entire household she noticed a gift in each of her kids and instilled confidence in all of us that that gift would take us wherever we wanted to go.

When you have confidence you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun you can do amazing things.

Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him familiarly and with confidence and love as to the dearest and most loving of friends.

Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering as do we if they are not alone in the universe.
