We celebrate that this is a new start of their lives. We celebrate that they are self-sufficient. When we say self-sufficient, we mean that they have a place to live, transportation, child care and a job for six months, with benefits if possible. (Quote by - Kathryne Boroughs)

You can make one (self-contained self-rescuer) that would last all day, but you'd have to carry it behind in a wagon. (Quote by - Kenneth Williams)

Trophies should go to the winners. Self-esteem does not lead to success in life. Self-discipline and self-control do, and sports can help teach those. (Quote by - Roy Baumeister)

Revolution begins with the self, in the self. (Quote by - Toni Cade Bambara)

He who considers this [Self ] as a slayer or he who thinks that this [Self] is slain, neither of these knows the Truth. For it does not slay, nor is it slain. (Quote by - Bhagavad Gita)

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self. (Quote by - May Sarton)

It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one's self-respect. Self-respect is the most vital factor in life. Without it, man is a cipher. To live worthily with self-respect, one has to overcome difficulties. It is out of hard and ceaseless struggle alone that one derives strength, confidence and recognition. (Quote by - B. R. Ambedkar)

There are no utopia jobs on this earth, .. There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody. (Quote by - Chan Gailey)

We tried to change the idea that this team was a loser. So many people had labeled them as losers, and said [these players] couldn't play for anybody else in the league. That the only reason they were even in the NFL was that they were playing for Cleveland, an expansion franchise. Obviously you try to build their self-esteem, their self-respect, and give them a reason to hope. (Quote by - Butch Davis)

Self-service can help retailers better manage staff, especially during peak times. With self-checkout, store personnel can be redirected onto the floor to provide more product information, sales assistance and shelf restocking -- tasks that help contribute to improved levels of customer satisfaction. (Quote by - Patrick Leonard)

When we first signed Courtney up for karate, we did it because we thought it was important that she learn to defend herself. Well, she can defend her self now, but it's given her so much more than that. It's helped her self-confidence, her self-discipline, her listening skills. I'd recommend it to any parents who are thinking about signing their children up for a class. (Quote by - Rebecca McKinney)

This is partly a function of approval ratings. People pay attention [to polls] and start saying, 'Lets take a more independent tack.' It is frankly self-interest, self-preservation. (Quote by - John Thune)

I've actually seen kids who have bad attitudes or temper problems come into fencing and I've seen them leave with much more self-control and self-respect. I've seen them go from really lousy kids to pretty nice people, people I could respect. I think fencing can have an uplifting effect on the soul. It's very much a Western martial art. (Quote by - Dion Shively)

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth. (Quote by - Chanakya)

The ''Inside-Out'' approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self / with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves. (Quote by - Stephen R. Covey)

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity. (Quote by - Carlos Castaneda)

Self-publishing got a bad rap because there were too many people publishing things that weren't fit to be published, but in the last few years self publishers are producing more daring and more cutting edge work the big houses don't want to mess with. (Quote by - Cathy Stucker)

If in fact the universe were fully explainable in a self-contained way, maybe it would be rational to simply to an atheist, .. If in fact the universe doesn't seem self-explainable, that gives a rational basis for belief that there is a God. (Quote by - Walter Bradley)

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself. (Quote by - Lao-tzu)

Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward. (Quote by - Viktor Frankl)

The one-day team is a little bit below the Test team at the minute, but we are building for 2007 and the World Cup. As a team and players, we had a lot of self-belief that we could turn things around (after first Test defeat at Lord's), and we also have a lot of self-belief we can do very well in the World Cup come 2007. (Quote by - Michael Vaughan)

Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery - the source of truth. (Quote by - Barry Long)

The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen. (Quote by - George S. Arundale)

SELF-EVIDENT, adj. Evident to one's self and to nobody else. (Quote by - Ambrose Bierce)
