47. Words to Live By --> Your favorite quotations: (question added by Michael McCafferty)
"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.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."
Read by Nelson Mandela at his inauguration in 1994.Original writing of Marianne Williamson, in her book,A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles."Popularized in the movie "Coach Carter".

-----------------------------------

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal lawswill begin to establish themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
Henry David Thoreau
