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.”
Marianne Williamson
Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way and never again. - Hermann Hesse
Every man is born into the world to do something unique and something distinctive, and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done. - Dr. Benjamin E. Mays
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. - Margaret Mead
Actually, Pat from Ohio mentioned a page that really stinks. No offense, Pat, but I just happened to find that page a couple of days ago while searching for quotes and couldn't believe how thin it was.
Best bet is to leave your PC and go to your local library for a copy of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. It's been the bible of quotation-finding for decades, maybe a century, and it's always being updated. (Every household really should OWN a copy, but use the library if you must.)
