“Don't be surprised if I demur, for, be advised my passport's green. No glass of ours was ever raised to toast The Queen.”
Seamus Heaney
“By being hesitant to voice the truth for fear of upsetting others, we make those others our masters and unwittingly become their slaves. And by remaining silent when we should have raised our voices, we also become prisoners of our own silence.”
Shafeeq Qureshi
“The way we speak of our parents teaches our children the way they will speak of us to our grandchildren.”
Gene Crawford
“Our friends show us what we can do; our enemies teach us what we must do.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“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, and fabulous? 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 are all meant to shine, as children do. We are 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
“It surprised me. All those turnovers from an experienced club like ours.”
Richard Dorsey
“We call a child's mind "small" simply by habit; perhaps it is larger than ours is, for it can take in almost anything without effort”
Christopher Morley
