Quotes

Some cool quotes from our magical, 'manly', marvellous study leader Matt.

- 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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and famous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that 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 all of us. And when 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

- young people have the unique position of being the people of God today and the promise of God for tomorrow
- bad things happen when good people do nothing
- it is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what we are not
- seizing the day may well result in one's untimely death, but living sheepishly already has - Jason Merchey
- We often think that the church is here for us.... but we forget that we are the church and we are here for the world
-what you are shouts so loudly in my ears I cannot hear what you say- Emerson
- Into the hands of every individual is given a marvellous power for good or evil- the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the constant radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be- William Jordan
