Growing up I loved the comedy antics and piano genius of Victor Borge
I had the opportunity to see him live on several occasions. I hope you use this clip to view some of the other clips that have made their way to YouTube. Although the humour is quite dated and in some cases not politically correct, he is quite funny.

Our Deepest Fear
" 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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. 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
[Often incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela.
The source is Return to Love by Marianne Williamson, Harper Collins, 1992. Peter McLaughlin]
It is also used in the film Coach Carter - a must see!
