When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
Byron Katie
Image
If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
Byron Katie
Image
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie

Clarity moves much more efficiently than violence or stress.
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
In my experience, we don't make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn't personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.
Byron Katie
Image
As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.

Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
Image
No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
Image
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
Image
So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
Byron Katie
Image
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
Image
I know that even at moments of apparent danger, nothing is out of order or lacking, other than our own unquestioned thoughts about those moments.
Byron Katie
Image
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.
