Favourite Quotes and a Few Short Thoughts

The most powerful quotes come from the the soul and not from the head.  They are merely channeled through the  neutrality of an uncluttered mind. They speak to everyone irrespective of race, colour, faith, political belief or other orientation.  Here are a few of my favourite quotes and a few short thoughts:

 -  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 truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.
- Aesop

- Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
- Alan Watts

In my experience, intuitives are people who have mastered the deceivingly difficult art of listening to others.  Because of that and my many little secrets, great listeners leave me with an uneasy and exhilarating sense of transparency. 

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

- We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.
- Walter Savage Landor (Poet)

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
- John Lennon

Status quo is the least fertile soil in the infinite gardens of our lives.
 - Unknown

- Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today.
- Malcom X

- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
- Aesop

I have found that my most sublime moments occur within the simultaneous experience of nothing and everything, and always in the presence of love.

- Yes We Can
  - Barak Obama
