'In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced  Michelagelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brothery love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.'

A Return to Love

"...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 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 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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."

"He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of every pore"

Far better it is to have a stout heart always and suffer one’s share of evils, than to be ever fearing what may happen

'My friend, if by deserting from the war before us
 
You and I would be destined to live for ever,
 
knowing no old age,
 
We would do it; I would not fight among the first,
 
I would not send you to battle which brings glory to
 
men.
 
But now as things are, when the ministers of death
 
stand by us
 
In their thousands, which no man born to die can
 
escape or even evade,
 
Let us go'

'Much learning either helps a man greatly or harms him greatly: it helps the shrewd but harms the easy talker,who says whatever he pleases wherever he is. One must know the proper and appropriate measure of all things: that is the definition of wisdom'
 
 
Anaxarchus (4th century BC)
