"The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls"
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
About this Quote
This quote speaks with the relevance of speaking our fact as well as not allowing the point of views of others to affect us. When we are afraid to reveal our real thoughts as well as feelings, we are not permitting ourselves to be open up to the divine light and life that can come from being sincere and also authentic. We must be endure and also speak our truth, also if it is unpopular or goes against the grain. We should not be silenced by fear of reasoning or criticism. We have to be true to ourselves and also count on that our inner wisdom will assist us. Just then can we open ourselves as much as the divine light and life that originates from being true to ourselves.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
