SWAMI VEVEKANANDA WAS ASKED:
WHAT DID YOU GAIN BY PRAYER AND MEDITATION?
I GAINED NOTHING.
BUT LOST:
ANGER
DEPRESSION
JEALOUSY
& INSECURITY.
Nelson Mandela Quotes
(Former President Of South Africa)
“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”
“It always seems impossible until its done.”
“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom 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. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
