Esteem Quotes
-
It is at the family fireside, often under the shelter of the law itself, that the real tragedies of life are acted; in these days traitors wear gloves, scoundrels cloak themselves in public esteem, and their victims die broken-hearted, but smiling to the last. What I have just related to you is almost an every-day occurrence; and yet you profess astonishment.
Emile Gaboriau
-
But to such a man as Schopenhauer,—one who considered five sixths of the population to be knaves or blockheads, and who had thought out a system for the remaining fraction,—to such a man as he, the question of esteem, or the lack thereof, was of small consequence. He cared nothing for the existence which he led in the minds of other people. To his own self he was true, to the calling of his destiny constant, and he felt that he could sit and snap his fingers at the world, knowing that Time, who is at least a gentleman, would bring him his due unasked.

Susanne Langer

William Arthur Ward

Zoe Perry
-
Back to my childhood where those monsters reside. They snack on innocence and dine on self esteem.
Jimmy Buffett

Self-awareness and self-esteem. Those aren't female issues, those are human issues.
Curtis Hanson
-
Friendship is cemented by interest, vanity, or the want of amusement; it seldom implies esteem, or even mutual regard.
William Hazlitt
-
The path to self-esteem lies in getting over yourself. There is nothing to esteem about our smaller dramas; it's our commitment to something beyond ourselves that is truly estimable to ourself and others.
Marianne Williamson
