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 were 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.
Enhver kan blive vred. Men at blive vred på den rigtige person med den rigtige styrkegrad på det rigtige tidspunkt og af den rigtige grund - det er ikke let. Aristoteles.
Følelsen er den tanke, der er i bedst overensstemmelse med naturen. Aristoteles.
Vi har tabt kunsten at leve; og i den vigtigste videnskab af alle, kunsten at leve, videnskaben af det daglige liv, videnskaben om adfærd, ignorerer vi komplet. I stedet har vi psykologien. H. Lawrence (1885-1930), Britisk forfatter.
If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery. Albert Einstein (1879-1955), German-born U.S. theoretical physicist. Out of My Later Years, ch. 7 (1950).
Intellect and Intellectuals
We should take care not to make
the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. Albert Einstein
(1879-1955), German-born U.S. scientist. Out of My Later Life, ch. 51 (1950).
Francis Bacon: "Jeg tænker på livet som meningsløst, men vi giver det mening igennem vor egen eksistens."

Vi må udnytte tiden som et redskab, ikke som en sofa - John F. Kennedy
Sande venner besøger os kun i medgang, når de er indbudt, men kommer uden indbydelse i modgang. Theofrastos
Et af symptomerne på et nervøst sammenbrud er, at tro at ens arbejde er virkelig vigtigt. Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
Personligt vil jeg tusinde gange hellere dræbes end dræbe - Paven Paul VI

John F. Kennedy
"How exquisitely the individual Mind
to the external world Is fitted:
and how exquisitely too -
Theme this but little among men -
The external World is fitted to the Mind."
Wordsworth.
Du skal åbne dit
jeg.
Du skal blive et eneste trin,
på en videre vej,
du skal være et led i en lod,
som når ud over dig.
Du skal
blomstre og dræ!
Dine frugter skal mætte,
om så kun det simpleste kræ.
Du har del i en fremtid,
for den skal du plante et træ.
Alle ønsker udvikling - men ingen forandring.
- Søren Kirkegaard
Ved at forsøge det "umulige"

If we ourselves remain always angry and then sing world peace, it has
little meaning. So first our individual self must learn peace. This we can
practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world , |
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. |

Jakobs brev 1, 22: »Og vær ordets gørere, ikke blot dets hørere, ellers bedrager I jer selv.« 2, 17: »Sådan er det også med troen; hvis den ikke har gerninger, er den i sig selv død.«
En ekspert er en, som ved mere og mere om mindre og mindre, indtil han til sidst ved alt om ingenting. Nicholas M. Butler

Når man bliver såret, må det skyldes, at nogen siger, man IKKE er, hvad man tror, man er, eller gerne ville have andre skulle tro, man er. Johannes Møllehave
"If life seems jolly rotten, there's
something you've forgotten and that's
to laugh and smile and dance and sing."
Monty Python
"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard.
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn.
Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is."
- Mary Anne Hersh
"Love is always in the mood of believing in miracles." -J.C. Powys
"When one has once fully entered the realm of love, the world -no
matter how imperfect- becomes rich and beautiful, it consists solely
of opportunities for love." -Søren Kierkegaard
"Only choose in marriage a woman whom you would choose as a friend
if she were a man." -Joseph Joubert-
Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life
to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper
to talk to you. --Helen Rowland
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it
means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all
these defences. You build up this whole armour, for years, so
nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from
any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give
them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something
dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life
isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you.
It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a
simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how
very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way
into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just
in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-
you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Neil Gaiman
There are three things that can never be hidden: love, a mountain,
and someone riding on a camel. -Arab proverb
"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys
to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks,
our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly
who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're
pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No
matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person
we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who
shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're
two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are
we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes
life come to life." -Leslie Parrish in "The Bridge Across
Forever": a Love Story by Richard Bach
"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the
discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship
has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase.
This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings
is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for
it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine
accident." -Sir Hugh Walpoe
"In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything,
and two minus one equals nothing." --Mignon McLaughlin
"Only when we truly reveal ourselves can we ever be truly
loved. When we relate as we genuinely are, from our essence,
then if we are loved, it is our essence that is loved. Nothing
is more validating on a personal level, and more freeing in a
relationship." --Robin Norwood
"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe
with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure
words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are - chaff
and grain together - certain that a faithful hand will take and
sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of
kindness blow the rest away..." -- Dinah Mulock
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
"Don't count the days -- make the days count." --Ed Agresta
Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the
great.
- Comte DeBussy-Rabutin
There are more stars known to exist right now than the total
number of all the grains of sand on every beach in the entire
world. With those kinds of odds, it would seem downright naive
for someone to go to a beach in, say, some out-of-the-way inlet
in Baffin Bay, stoop to pick up only one tiny grain of sand, and
declare that that grain alone was the only place where life could
exist.
- Hugh Downs
When I was a boy of fourteen my father was so ignorant I could
hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be
twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in
seven years.
- Mark Twain
Tis better to buy a small bouquet;
And give to your friend this very day;
Than a bushel of roses white and red;
To lay on his coffin after hes dead.

I am seventy-five and yet not ever truly to have lived."

"Life is too short to be small." - Benjamin Disraeli
"You're never a loser until you quit trying." - Mike Ditka
"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's
done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to
do it themselves." - Brendan Behan
"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the
time he will pick himself up and continue on."
- Churchill's commentary on Man
"It is said that love is blind. Friendship, on the other hand,
is clairvoyant." -Philippe Soupault
"I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the
intelligence. There's a knob called "brightness", but it
doesn't work." -- Gallagher
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like
an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a
minute. THAT's relativity." -- Albert Einstein
"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the
universe is that it has never tried to contact us."
- Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson)
"Love sees with the heart and not the mind; therefore,
winged cupid is painted blind." -William Shakespeare
"God not only plays dice, he sometimes also throws the dice
where they cannot be seen."

"Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works
miracles in our lives." -- Louise Hay
"There is more to life than increasing speed." - Mohandas K. Gandhi
"If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in
the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before

came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can
go." - James Baldwin
Gandhi was once asked what he thought of Western
Civilization. "I think", he replied, "it would be a good idea."
"A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt as dangerous."
- Alfred Alder
"I know the nature of women; When you want to, they don't
want to. And when you don't want to, they desire exceedingly."
-- Terence (B.C. 185-159)
"Tragedy is if I cut my finger. Comedy is if *you* fall down a
manhole."
-- Mel Brooks
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with
somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as
possible." --Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) "When Harry Met Sally..."
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of
life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only
a certain number of times; and a very small number really.
How many times will you remember a certain afternoon of
your childhood; an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your
being that you can't even conceive of your life without it?
Perhaps 4 or 5 times more? Perhaps not even that. How many
more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps, 20.
And yet it all seems limitless.
- Brandon Lee, in his final interview
"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no
common denominator, but among those whom I love, I
can: All of them make me laugh."
-- W.H. Auden
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgot their use. Galileo Galilei
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate
back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand
years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would
collapse into chaos. -Edward O. Wilson
Avoid suspicion: when you're walking through your
neighbour's melon patch, don't tie your shoe.

One death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.

Time is more valuable than money; time is life itself.
You can always get more money, but you can't get more
time. When time is gone, so are you.

Leo Tolstoj
Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I may not forget you.

But if you build your life on dreams it's prudent to recall:

Al menneskets
succes er frugten af at turde.

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) Dansk filosof og teolog
Der findes et
