The man of authentic self-confidence is the man who relies on the judgment of
his own mind. Such a man is not malleable; he may be mistaken, he may be fooled
in a given instance, but he is inflexible in regard to the absolutism of
reality, i.e., in seeking and demanding truth . . .
There is only one source of authentic self-confidence: reason.
