{quotes}
There is a place that you are to fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do.
Florence Scovel Shinn
If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for.
Florence Scovel Shinn
Your word is your wand. The words you speak create your own destiny.
Florence Scovel Shinn
Bless your enemy and you will rob him of his ammunition. His arrows will be transmuted into blessings. This law is true of nations as well as individuals. Bless a nation, send love and good-will to every inhabitant, and it is robbed of its power to harm.
Florence Scovel Shinn
If one is willing to do a thing he is afraid to do, he does not have to face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight.
