Hey, that reminds me of an off-topic thingy I got. Years

ago I read (almost positive) a Mark Twain short story,

and I want to reference it in one of my courses. It was

about two feuding newspaper editors who were in a

horrible fight in the office...but every blow, gun shot, &

knife swipe missed, but hitting Mark Twain who was

just the innocent copy boy. (best as I can recall).

 

I've looked thru all of Twain's short stories and I can't

find it. Can anyone help me--keeping it ON-topic a bit,

it's a great allegory for the person who insists on hanging

out with the " wrong " crowd.

Hi Folks:

 

I am looking for the source of that famous quote that is commonly attributed to

Nelson Mandela (he used it in his Inauguration Speech) or even to President

Clinton (he quoted Mandela). Mandela originally got it from Williamson <LOL> but

I need to know where.

 

This is the quote I am talking about:

 

" 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,

and 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 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 consciously give other people

permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our

own

fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

 

If anybody knows where in Williamson's works this might be printed, please let

me know.

 

Thanks,

Crow

on the wall--

I'm pretty sure its from " A Course in Miracles "

Well, does it classify as talking to yourself, when you answer your own

question? <LOL>

 

Actually, it was answered for me by a newsletter I get, that misattributed the

quote. They looked it up, and discovered that yes, it is from Marianne

Williamson, from " Return to Love " . Thanks for the feedback, I was looking for it

in " Miracles " too but it was taking forever (and I guess it would have taken

longer than that, since it wasn't there!) ;-)

 

Blessings,

Crow

According to the following site:

 

http://www.kirstimd.com/mandela.htm

 

" Although this speech is frequently attributed to

Nelson Mandela, for his Inaugural address in 1994,

it appears that the original text was written by

Marianne Williamson and appeared in her book A

Return To Love. "

Marianne Williamson Quote (off topic)

 

 

Caroline Abreu <crow

 

Hi Folks:

 

I am looking for the source of that famous quote that is commonly attributed

to

Nelson Mandela (he used it in his Inauguration Speech) or even to President

Clinton (he quoted Mandela). Mandela originally got it from Williamson <LOL>

but

I need to know where.

 

This is the quote I am talking about:

 

" 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,

and 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 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 consciously give other people

permission to do the same. As we are liberated from

our

own

fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

 

If anybody knows where in Williamson's works this might be printed, please let

me know.

 

Thanks,

Crow

CWG? No, I'm not on it... don't even know what it stands for ;-) Is it a

Christian Women's group?

 

I get an email called " Bits & Pieces " every day, from the folks who do the

" Chicken Soup " books, and they had the misattributed quote in there this

morning, along with another quote about fear. Maybe this other person gets that,

too.

 

They reassured me that the quote was from an older book, and that they had

remedied it in revision (okaaaaaaaaay...)

 

I would not be otherwise surprised, though, to hear of such a coincidence. That

sort of thing seems to happen to me quite a bit. I just call it " synchronicity "

and pay a little closer attention to things in case something else is going on I

shouldn't miss :-)

 

Isn't life wonderful?

CWG is Conversations with God, as in the books by Neale Walsch, we talk about

synchronicity all the time, I love it. I did hear the mention of Bits and

Peices but maybe it's a synchronicity too. Have you read these books they are

very similar to Marianne Williamson's . That list is also at onelist if you

were interested.
