Conceited or confident?

From the song 'Don't Need You To Tell Me I'm Pretty' by Samantha Mumba:

I don't need you to
Tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
I don't need you to
Give me your strength to make me feel I'm strong.
I got all of this strength that I need here
inside my own two hands,
All that I want is your love and respect for who I am,
What I really need
Comes from deep inside of me.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful,
Don't need you to make me strong 'cause I'm strong all on my own,
Doesn't come from outside
This beauty I know,
Comes from inside my soul.

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty.

"There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself."
- Paul Pierce

"There is a difference between conceit and confidence. Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done."
- Johnny Unitas

"To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing."
- Fred Durst

Confidence is not the same as conceit. Conceited people are usually a turn-off but everyone likes a confident person.

"Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits."
- Holy Bible, Romans 12:16

It is better for the praise to come from someone else.

"You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead"
From the song 'Simply The Best' by Tina Turner

- Henry Ward Beecher

"Conceited people are never without a certain degree of harmless satisfaction wherewith to flavor the waters of life."
- Dorothee DeLuzy
