More quotes by Nathaniel Branden

Nathaniel Branden

Nathaniel Branden
The first love affair you must consummate is the love affair with yourself. Only then are you ready for a romantic relationship.
Nathaniel Branden

Nathaniel Branden
An emotion is both a mental and a physical event.
Nathaniel Branden
If my aim is to prove I am 'enough,' the project goes on to infinity-because the battle was already lost on the day I conceded the issue was debatable.
Nathaniel Branden
Sometimes pain is easier to bear alone than happiness.
Nathaniel Branden
Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do.
Nathaniel Branden
Anyone who really loves you wants you to be authentic. And anyone who doesn't want you to be authentic doesn't really love you.
Nathaniel Branden
We tend to feel most comfortable, most at home, with people whose self esteem level resembles our own.
Nathaniel Branden
The world belongs to those who persevere.
Nathaniel Branden
High self esteem people can surely be knocked down by an excess of troubles, but they are quickerto pick themselves up again.
Nathaniel Branden
