I have learned that if one advances confidently in
the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
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. 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. A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what
ships are for. Many men go fishing all their lives not knowing it
is not fish they are after. To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he
has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
It is not our purpose to become each other; it is
to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for
what he is. Never giving up and pushing forward will unlock
all the potential we are capable of. Now is the time. Needs are great, but your
possibilities are greater. Life without a purpose is a languid, drifting

'This day let me make a sound beginning My life is my message.
