"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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that 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 all of us. And when 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.”
I think it's Mary Anne Williamson, Nelson Mandela quoted it at his inaguration, and I've seen it in several movies, Coach Carter, Akeelah and the Bee, etc.

My favorite quotation on "Wisdom" is from the great epic Mahabharata.
"Nothing but intelligence and forgiveness, restraint of the senses and liberty, are present in a person of wisdom."

Look famous, be legendary, appear complex, act easy, radiate presence, travel light, seem a dream, prove real.

It goes something like, "There are two tragedies in life: getting what one wants and not getting what one wants." That's by Oscar Wilde.
