Since you started this post with a quote. I would like to add a quote from Buddha who really described the essence of self esteem in a few powerful words.
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." Buddha
I hope this helps you feel better about yourself.
