Top 50 Quotes On Self Confidence

I'm generally quite a shy and timid guy, and many times I find myself stopping myself from taking any risks. By risks, I mean more along the lines of 'taking chances'. Ranging from meeting new people, starting a conversation, quitting jobs, etc. I generally blame myself for my own undoing and end up regretting about things here and there. I was browsing through a male grooming website (Please don't ask why) and it turned out to be a better experience than I had expected. 

I can't find the same website so I can't quote what was written on the article, but basically what was mentioned was that no matter what the website suggested with its fancy products and styling tips, what mattered the most was your confidence and how much you valued yourself. I thought this was valuable information for someone like me who very much lacks confidence. Then, on the comments section someone posted a link on a website with some cool quotes on self confidence. 

I realized that it wasn't just me who is suffering from the lack of self confidence and I hope these quotes can help you guys through a tough day.
