The program helps boost the girls' self-worth, teaches them to work together as a team and boosts their self-esteem. They see how unique they are and learn that's not a bad thing. (Quote by - Betty King)

Power doesn't have to show off. Power is confident, self-assuring, self-starting and self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying. When you have it, you know it. (Quote by - Ralph Ellison)

Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to be caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self. (Quote by - Millicent Fenwick)

It appears that the data we hear about hedge funds' performance is absolute noise. Even if you accept the unique aspect of self-selected self-reporting, you can't wash out all the failures and expect people to buy your 'perception' of performance. (Quote by - Kevin Gahagan)

Because of what you have done the heavens have become a part of man's world. And as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquillity, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and Tranquillity to Earth. For one priceless moment, in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one. One in their pride in what you have done. One in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth. (Quote by - Richard Milhous Nixon)

There wasn't enough evidence to meet the elements of murder. But the bottom line is, I had a witness who was standing outside [the apartment building when the incident occurred] trimming some hedges, who owned the condo, who articulated that these four men rushed into the place. Based on what he said and some other information, it came out that it was a self-defense situation. It was going to be either a robbery, an aggravated assault or a murder. [Mane] had a right to defend himself. [The prosecution] couldn't disprove self-defense. The district attorney didn't have a whole lot of choice but to dismiss it. (Quote by - Dennis Scheib)

when a man/woman is unsatisfied with him/her self he/she will/should do what is in his/her power to better him/her self and those around him/her. (Quote by - xang david her)

Typically, self-service technologies provide very limited visibility into what customers are truly seeking; and more ineptly, search-based tools do not provide insight into the level of satisfaction achieved by the tool. The ASA differs by capturing each and every customer query, providing a real-time snapshot of customer concerns and offering advanced tools for the analysis and management of interactions. The result is not only improved performance to tens of thousands of self service support sessions each day, but a happier and more satisfied customer. (Quote by - Stephen Klein)

Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end. (Quote by - Jane Taylor)

Not only were the platforms in the science fiction movies user-aware, they were self-aware, and that notion of self aware added to the excitement of those motion pictures and added a bit of trouble. In the end, HAL turned out to be too human like that was the fatal flaw. The concept of self awareness can be a bit dangerous. This notion of turning against the user is fundamental to the plot line, but it doesn't have to be that way. (Quote by - Justin Rattner)

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect. (Quote by - Percy Bysshe Shelley)

Self-recognition, the self-contemplation of spirit is the primary movement out of which all creativeness proceeds. (Quote by - Paul Twitchell)

The Christian faith from the beginning, is sacrifice: the sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all self-confidence of spirit; it is at the same time subjection, self-derision, and self-mutilation. (Quote by - Friedrich Nietzsche)

Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men. (Quote by - Bede Griffiths)

The one who rejoices in the Self only, who is satisfied with the Self, who is content in the Self alone, for such a [Self-realized] person there is no duty. (Quote by - Bhagavad Gita)

Especially the young lady who is clearly interested in using guns for self-defense, that's extremely important since gun owners will use a firearm in self-defense about 7,000 times a day. Obviously, that's people's best defense in a moment of crisis. (Quote by - Erich Pratt)
