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
Image
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
Image
When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
Byron Katie
Image
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
Image
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
Byron Katie

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.

I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
Byron Katie

Image
Stress never feels as natural as peace does
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
Image
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
Image
My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie
Image
All sadness is a tantrum.
Byron Katie
Image
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
Byron Katie
Image
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
