You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.

More quotes by Byron Katie
The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
Byron Katie
I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
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
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Personalities don't love. They want something.
Byron Katie
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
Byron Katie
When a thought appears such as Do the dishes and you don't do them, notice how an internal war breaks out... The stress and weariness you feel are really mental combat fatigue.
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
Byron Katie
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.
Byron Katie
I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
Byron Katie
We cannot see what we don't believe.
Byron Katie
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.
Byron Katie
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
Byron Katie
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.
Byron Katie
Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
Byron Katie
