Knowing....

"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”
Tao Te Ching

When I dare....

When I dare to be powerful -- to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
Andrea Lorde

Look fear in the face...

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
