I sin tiltredelsestale siterte Nelson Mandela fra en bønn av Marianne Williamson:
"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's nothing enlightened
about shrinking,
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We were 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 unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated
from our own fear,
our presence automatically
liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
