Nelson Mandela

 You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
won’t feel unsure around you.
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.
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.
     ~ Nelson Mandela
