More quotes by Elizabeth Lesser
What will matter is the good we did, not the good we expected others to do.
Elizabeth Lesser
May you listen to the voice within the beat even when you are tired. When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens your heart, expands your understanding and leads you to freedom.
Elizabeth Lesser
Our errors and failings are chinks in the heart's armor through which our true colors can shine.
Elizabeth Lesser
I have built up so much stuff , I am afraid I would cry forever, or have to go to sleep for weeks, or I would want to make some changes, and it is all just so overwhelming that we just keep going and going and going. It's a problem. It creates all kinds of illnesses of the physical and mental kind.
Elizabeth Lesser
Many women hear the word feminine and feel like it's a noose around their neck. Don't hold me to a mode of behavior because I'm a woman and you think this is how a woman should act, kind of thing.
Elizabeth Lesser
Read any of the top-selling business books, all of them talk about moving away from a top down manner of leading to a more inclusive one. It's not happening over night, but if you read the winds of change in most of the democracies in the world we are moving toward shared levels of power.

To be spiritual is to be genuine in everything you say and do, come what may.
Elizabeth Lesser
If you're interested in the door to the heavens opening, start with the door to your own secret self.
Elizabeth Lesser
Over and over, we are broken on the shore of life. Our stubborn egos are knocked around, and our frightened hearts are broken open—not once, and not in predictable patterns, but in surprising ways and for as long as we live.
Elizabeth Lesser
I'm not naive. I know how hard it is to get along.
Elizabeth Lesser
I think as women and men become more conscious, the terms woman/man begin to lose meaning.
Elizabeth Lesser
If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms.
Elizabeth Lesser
Fear is a sneaky thief, stealing away precious moments of your life.
Elizabeth Lesser
Talking to each other instead of talking about each other is not some kind of nicey-nice (ph) idea. It's the difference between societies falling apart and societies getting something wonderful done.
Elizabeth Lesser
Recognition of the harm that patriarchy has caused to people and the planet does not mean that men are wrong and women are right rather it is a call for new organizational forms and for relishing gender differences within a context of equality.
Elizabeth Lesser
Every day we're given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us . . . if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place.
Elizabeth Lesser
Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.
Elizabeth Lesser
See what's happening to our sisters around the world. I'm very interested in the protection of women globally.
Elizabeth Lesser
I think the main problem people have getting older, whether they know it or not, is that you're closer to dying. And we may fixate on not wanting to look a certain way, but it really is just the clock ticking, that it means, Oh, I am not immortal!.
Elizabeth Lesser
We need to claim our power for something beautiful, something harmonious and something globally healthy.
