“Sky above me, earth beneath me, fire within me”

“Sky above me, earth beneath me, fire within me” is a motivational saying that has been printed on many images. “Sky Above, Voice Within” was the Jeremy Soule-composed soundtrack for the open world action role-playing video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released on November 11, 2011.
 
“SKY ABOVE ME. EARTH BELOW ME. FIRE WITHIN ME” was posted on Twitter on April 15, 2012.
   
           
Wikipedia: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
 
The game’s main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The game is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

Where is this quote From? “Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me, Fire Within Me.”?
“Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me, Fire Within Me.”
Best Answer:  Why, it’s from Skyrim of course.
Skyrim is a multi platform (pc, PS3, xbox) Videogame in which the player assumes the role of the “dovahkiin”, or dragonborn. A rare human with the soul of a dragon. The Phrase “Sky above, Earth below, ect…” refers to dragons’ ability to breathe fire. You can probably google or wiki the rest.

“Sky above, Voice within.”
―Arngeir
There you go. They aren’t exactly the same quote, but I’m certain that is what you are referring to. The Greybeards use the line as “sky above” representing the gods, object of worship, and as “Voice within” representing the Thu’um, the tool of worshipping. Hope this helps ye.

Sky Above,Voice Within
(Sigh) Arngeir, a member of the Greybeards, a monastic order founded by Jurgen Windcaller and led by Paarthurnax, in a game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, developed by Bethesda Softworks, presided by Todd Howard, in the United States of America, says it. Does that answer the question now?

I wear this large coin set in a rose gold surround with a rose/silver beveled chain. The inscription on the back says: “Sky above me, earth below me, fire within me.” It’s from Skyrim, used in reference to anyone born in human form with the soul of a dragon. It’s very eye catching and looks well on a night out or daytime wear.

Just saw a T-shirt on a mannequin at #Target that said “Sky above me, earth beneath me, fire within me,” which sounds more like a #PowerRangers morphing call than anything motivational.
