This is MY fave quote:
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, fabulous? 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 other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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.”

"Suicidal is this distrust of reason; this fear to think; this doctrine that it is pious to believe other's words, and impious to trust entirely to yourself...To reflect is to receive truth immediately from God without any medium. That is living faith. To take on trust certain facts is a dead faith, inoperative. A trust in yourself is the height, not of pride but of piety, an unwillingness to learn of any but God himself. It will come only to the one who feels he is nothing. It is by yourself, without ambassador that God speaks to you."
Our young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, the origin of evil, predestination and the like. These never presented any practical difficulty to any man, never darkened any man's road who did not go out of his way to seek them. They are the soul's mumps and measles and whooping coughs, and those who have not caught them cannot describe their health or prescribe the cure. A simple mind will not know these enemies. It is quite another thing that he should be able to give account of his faith, and expound to another the theory of his self union and freedom. This requires rare gifts. Yet without this knowledge there may be a sylvan strength and integrity in that which he is. "A few strong instincts and a few plain rules" suffice for us.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Measure your life not by the number of breaths you take but the number of times something takes your breath away.
