GREAT QUOTES
“Thank you to the people who have walked into my life and made it great – but also thank you to those who walked out of it and made it even better!” ~Anonymous
“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” ~Mark Twain
“Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am.” ~Michael Crichton
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi to come back – but they are gone. We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you.” ~Marian Wright Edelman

Thank you for sharing these, Rinpoche.
Words of inspiration are always great motivators, especially when we think of people like Helen Keller who had so many supposed restrictions and limitations: when people with such difficulties in life can achieve so much, the rest of us really have no excuse…
“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? 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 all meant to shine, as children do. 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 own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
~Marianne Williamson
