you know, I originally grabbed this quote because I thought it spoke volumes about Bush and the people who vote for him. But with the recent things that have been coming out about Obama and him beginning to show his true colors, I think it just might apply to him as well. I really fear that if he wins the Democratic nomination, the Republican spin machine is going to annihilate him come November. Please dont let McBush take over the White House!

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing”

"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. 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's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God 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. "
- Nelson Mandela
President of the Republic of South Africa

wow! this one blew me away. From an early age, people have told me I am intimidating and I should try to tone it down... NO WAY! I should be ME and invite others around me to find their own strength!

"No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how."

I guess this was originally referring to Joe McCarthy - but it certainly fits today, huh?
