About This Quote
If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price. It is the person who stands up for what they believe in and does not give up despite the many temptations and obstacles that may stand in their way. If you have the guts to be yourself, you will feel as if you are on top of the world as others will come to you more easily than they would come to others.
