My Favorite Quotes (thus far)

24 February 2011 Posted by Nia Langley Uncategorized

Some of these quotes are motivational, some of them are funny, and some are just random. Some of these quotes are from famous people, some of them are from my friends, some are from anonymous people (or I don’t know/remember who said them), and some are from myself. Some of these quotes are from movies, TV shows, or plays, some of these are from interviews, and some of these are simply from everyday life. Here it goes.

*I’m not going to put my friends’ last names on here, just for protection purposes. I guess. If there is no last name, chances are he/she is a friend of mine.
*The movie/TV show/play a quote was taken from will be in parentheses.

“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 does not 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

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Coco Chanel

“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” -Lena Horne
