"Our deepest fear is 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.

We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

-Nelson Mandela

"The most beautiful
and most profound experience
is the sensation of the mystical.
It is the sower of all true science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer wonder
and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead.

To know that which is impenetratable to us
really  exists, manifesting itself
as the highest wisdom
and the most radiant beauty
which our dull faculties can comprehend
only in the primitive forms-
this knowledge,
this feeling
is at the center of true religiousness."

-Albert Einstein

"We gaze up at the same stars,
the sky covers us all,
the same universe encompasses us.
What does it matter what practical system
we adopt in our search for the truth?
Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so
tremendous a secret."

- Symmachus, 384 C
