Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Byron Katie

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

A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.
Byron Katie

Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.
Byron Katie
Image
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie

I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
Image
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
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.
