"You must be the change you wish to see in this world."

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be so gorgeous, so brilliant, so talented, so fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won’t feel uncomfortable around you. We were all born to manifest the glory of God in us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And when you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give others the permission to do the same. And when you are liberated from your fear, you automatically liberate others.”

-Nelson Mandela, in a speech by Marianne Williamson

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

- Helen Keller
