Cards for Courage & Self-Confidence

I'm looking for cards to use for meditating on increasing personal strength and confidence, and raising self-esteem positively, standing strong amid conflict.

The ones I've thought of are: Strength, 3 of Wands, 9 of Wands

Can you suggest others, maybe from other suits?

Hello Aeric

The Magician always felt very empowering to me. My very first deck, the RWT, had a Magician I felt very comfortable with, and if that card came up for me, I knew there was space in my life for magic, and that i could be the one to manifest it! Many blessings to you.

This is one of those topics where all the cards can apply. My time is short today, so I don't have time to do an exhaustive list.

Fool - the confidence to walk into an unknown situation with head held high
Magician - the confidence to take the tools at hand and make them into something useful
High Priestess - the confidence to seek out that which is unknown (and therefore may end up being unpleasant)
Empress - the confidence to show your more nurturing side
Emperor - the self-esteem necessary to take charge and lead
Hierophant - the confidence to stand by your convictions
Lovers - the self-esteem needed to know that you are worthy of being loved
Chariot - the self-confidence to move forward when you seemingly have no control
Strength - the personal strength to keep your inner beast at bay
Hermit - the self-confidence to go your own way/follow your own path

just to add to the other brilliant ideas -

star - renewal and hope after a bad time.
ace of swords - breakthrough
I think in someways the six of swords, it's really hard to move away, regretfully moving on. A bit like the 8 of Cups with 'walking away'. There is courage in leaving things behind I think.

The biggest card of self confidence I have ever seen is the Sun.

for me i associated self-confidence most strongly with:

9 of pentacles, strength, the sun, the magician, the empress, king/queen of wands, 8 of wands
