Belief Quotes For Those Who Believe They Deserve It

Belief is to give credence, have confidence in someone or accept if something is true without proof.

Zoom through the compilation of insightful and noteworthy quotes and thoughts that will bring up your spirits at times when you lack self-belief and feel the urge to give up.
