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 most.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It never frightened a Puritan when you bade him stand still and
listen to the speech of God. His closet and his church were full
of the reverberations of the awful, gracious, beautiful voice for
which he listened.
