A Quote Thread....

"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, successful,
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 were born to make manifest the glory 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, inaugural speech 1994
 
Be at peace
and see
a clear pattern and plan
running through
all your lives.

Nothing is by chance

- for anyone interested, there's a book called 'A Guide for the Advanced Soul' by Susan Hayward which is essentially a collection of inspirational quotations to be interpreted and fitted in to all of life's problems...great little book, this is on the first page. I'll post some more good ones if anyone wants me too, or if I feel like it.
 
ok, alot of these are Bruce Lee quotes, s couple are from rappers and some are proverbs or saying; I don't know remember where they're all from:

to change with change is the changeless state

anger is one letter short of danger

wise men don't need to proive thier point, men who need to prove a point aren't wise

insanity is continuing the same behavior and expecting different results

life is a constant process of relating

there is no knowledge that is not power

only your mind can produce fear

fear and conflict is ussually born of ignorance and can eradicated through education

you train people how to treat you by how you treat yourself

the wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators

all who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed thier gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible

action conquers fear

a mind stretched to new dimentions will never return to its original form

knowing is not enough; we must apply, willing is not enough, we must do

you can't organize truth. that's like trying to put a pound of water into wrapping paper and shaping it

the inability to adapt brings destruction

showing off is the fool's idea of glory

if you think s thing impossible, you'll make it impossible

one great cause of failure is lack of concentration

a good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence

there is no help but self-help

the strong rule the weak but the wise rule the strong

learn from the past or the future will punish you

quality of life is an illusion of the mind
 
"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her."

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great."

"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'"

"A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it."

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."

"If you can imagine it,
You can achieve it.
If you can dream it,
You can become it."
 
"LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING---- WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!"
 
when language is used clearly, philosophical problems are found to dissolve

Music without words means leaving behind the mind.
And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source.
And the source of all is sound.
- Kabir
