The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.

I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie

A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.
Byron Katie
Image
My life is a contribution.
Byron Katie
Image
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Image
That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
Image
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
Image
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.
Byron Katie
