Aristotle

"Be charitable to all beings, love is the representative of God."

Ko-ji-ki, Hachiman Kasuga of the Shinto tradition

"The great man understands what is right. The petty man understands what is profitable."

Confucius

"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 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 were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is 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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others."

Miriam Williamson

"Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values."
