Judy Green gave the commencement address Sunday at Oak Grove Lutheran School in Fargo.

The president of the United Way of Cass-Clay read to the class of 2008 a passage from a "A Return to Love," a book written by Marianne Williamson.

Here are some snippets from that address:

"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.

Playing small does not serve the world.

We are all meant to shine,

as children do.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
