"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."

-Nelson Mandela

 

Incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela. Was actually originally written by Mariann Williamson, from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.

 

Also adapted nicely in the movie Coach Carter:

"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. 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. 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."

- Timo, Coach Carter

Like Judas of Old

You LIE and Deceive...

You fasten the triggers

For the others to fire

You sit back and watch

While the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansions

While young people’s blood

Flows out of their bodies

And gets buried in the mud

 

Bob Dylan (Masters of War, 1962)

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race."

 

-Booker T Washington

What is the speed of dark? :confused:

 

Darkness is the absence of light, so i would think since dark is default and all around, dark doesnt have to 'travel' and thus doesnt have a speed.

 

LOL somebody with a lot more time has thought about this!

All these are from Edward R Murrow.

 

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.

[/url]

Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions.

(War on *insert hot button topic here*)

 

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

 

My favorite quote from Murrow though is part of a speech he gave in 1954.

 

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men— not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.

 

This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it— and rather successfully. Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."

The one belief that shapes my actions more than any other is my belief in an afterlife. I believe that if in this life, I am be best person I can possibly be, then in the next life, I'll come back as a lesbian. And that, my friends, gives me all the inspiration I need.

 

No my idea, but heavily paraphrased... not sure where that original came from.

 

I hope it's true.

“I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming, when I had an image of my mother finding me,” “She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low. I had to reprogram myself to see the good in me. Because someone didn’t love me didn’t mean I was unlovable. I promised myself I would never be a coward again.”

 

-Halle Berry, on her break up with David Justice and attempted suicide
