3 Days, 3 Quotes, Day 3

Here we are at day 3 already, time flies when we’re having fun!  Today’s theme is “We’re All In This Together.”  My friend and fellow blogger Anand at “Blabberwockying” has nominated me for this challenge.  Anand is a caring and compassionate person who not only leaves uplifting comments, his response time at answering is like lightning speed!  (It’s a good thing Anand and I am smiling every time) 🙂 Please feel free to visit his site and follow him.  Today I am writing some of my most favorite quotes that are closest to my heart.  Enjoy….

 

Challenge Rules:

• Post three consecutive days.
• You can pick one or three quotes per day.
• Challenge three different bloggers per day.

 

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”  ~ Einstein

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly…”  ~Theodore Roosevelt

 

“Our deepest fear is no 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 is 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.  ~Marianne Williamson
