Some of my favourite quotes

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."   Goethe

"What's important in life is not how many breaths we get to take, but those moments that take our breath away."     Jacques Cousteau

 "Dream lofty dreams as dreams are often the stuff goals are made of." -unknown"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams and endeavors to live the life one has imagined, one will meet with success unexpected in common hours."               Henry David Thoreau

"It's beneficial to your health to try and believe a few impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Caroll

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiralbegetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”     
Martin Luther King, Jr.

And finally, "If you're going to be a bear, you might as well be a grizzly." JSC

“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, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that the people will not feel insecure about 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 fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
