5 quotes I love

1. "20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines, sale away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

2. "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" Marianne Williamson

3. "I have come to realize how much stress is caused by the sad fact that many of us believe one way and live in quite another. Stress may be more a matter of personal integrity than time pressure, determined by the distance between our authentic values and how we live our lives" Rachel Naomi Remen

4. "Days pass and years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our mind with knowing. Let there be moments when your Presence, like lightning, illuminates the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see wherever we gaze, that the bush burns unconsumed. And we, clay, touched by the hand of God will reach out for Holiness and exclaim in wonder, "How filled with wonder was this place and we did not know it" Rachel Naomi Remen

5. "It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship...there are no ordinary people...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses" C.S. Lewis
