Byron Katie
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
Byron Katie

It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
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
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
The ability to understand the cause of your own suffering gives you the ability to understand ours.
Byron Katie
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
