Nelson Mandela (1994 Inaugural Speech)
About The Power of the Individual to Transform their Lives as well as the Lives of Others

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 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 fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

"Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream of how things could be and ask why not." Robert Kennedy

"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." Arthur Clarke
