Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, 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.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
When its dark enough you can see the stars.
Stars can't shine without darkness.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and silence.
I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?
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.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
