Sometimes Pain Is Easier To Bear Alone

It Is Very Difficult To Accept In Others Emotions You Cannot Accept In Yourself.

In Any Culture, Subculture, Or Family In Which Belief Is Valued Above Thought, And Self-surrender Is Valued Above Self-expression, And Conformity Is Valued Above Integrity, Those Who Preserve Their Self-esteem Are Likely To Be Heroic Exceptions.

Persons Of High Self-esteem Are Not Driven To Make Themselves Superior To Others; They Do Not Seek To Prove Their Value By Measuring Themselves Against A Comparative Standard. Their Joy Is Being Who They Are, Not In Being Better Than Someone Else.

Self-esteem Is A Powerful Force Within Each Of Us... Self-esteem Is The Experience That We Are Appropriate To Life And To The Requirements Of Life.

A Depression Is A Large-scale Decline In Production And Trade...there Is Nothing In The Nature Of A Free-market Economy To Cause Such An Event.
