We can reach our potential but to do so we must reach within ourselves. We must summon the strength the will and the faith to move forward - to be bold - to invest in our future.
Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge it slays our need for it.
That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves.
Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves.
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
I simply don't believe in failure. In itself it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.

Sometimes when we weep in the movies we weep for ourselves or for a life unlived. Or we even go to the movies because we want to resist the emotion that's there in front of us. I think there is always a catharsis that I look for and that makes the movie experience worthwhile.
We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces which represent 30% of our musical experience.
We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life and often find ourselves without experience despite our years.
Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity wonder spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
Experience as a desire for experience does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
I believe that as women we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.
I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power entitled to leadership.
A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.
I'm not only a lawyer I have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary. I work in serious scholarship and work in the United States federal tax court. My husband and I raised five kids. We've raised 23 foster children. We've applied ourselves to education reform. We started a charter school for at-risk kids.
The message of women's liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.
We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves our old and or young our women as well as our men.
The family teaches us about the importance of knowledge education hard work and effort. It teaches us about enjoying ourselves having fun keeping fit and healthy.
Each has its lesson for our dreams in sooth come they in shape of demons gods or elves are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.
My mother dreamed dreams for Joaquin and for me long before we could dream them for ourselves.
All of us gave it all we've got overcame a whole lot just being on the show and learned a lot about ourselves. We're just normal people trying to do what we love and follow our dreams.
