"Our
deepest fears are not that we are inadequate ...
Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is
our LIGHT not our DARKNESS that most frightens us.
Your
playing small does not service the world.
There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other
people won't feel unsure around you. We
are all meant to shine
as children do. It is not just in some of us. It
is in ALL of us.
And as we let our own LIGHT shine, we unconsciously
give other people the permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from
our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others"

[And Movie: Coach Carter]
"Who
is more foolish ... the child afraid of the dark,
or
the man afraid of the Light?"

Maurice Freehill
"Through
our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a
neighborhood, and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make it a
brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers. Or we will all
perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny,
caught in an inescapable network of mutuality"
- Martin Luther King
"It
is very important to surround yourself with people who have loving kindness,
understanding, and compassion in their hearts, because throughout our day we are
influenced by the collective consciousness"
- Thich Nhat Hanh
"We
are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.
Though
passion may have strained, it must not break our
bonds
of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell
when
again touched as surely they will be by the
better
angels of our nature"
