"The first great commandment of all eternity is to love God with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength - that's the first great commandment.  But the first great truth of all eternity is that God loves us with all of His heart, might, mind, and strength."

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."

"My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
