More quotes by Hugh Prather
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Hugh Prather
Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.
Hugh Prather
One element of maturity is the realization that we don't get away with anything. Any advantage gained or convenience taken, any private procrastination or insincerity, no matter how subtle or quick in passing, is paid for.
Hugh Prather

Hugh Prather
You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. You are only young once, then you need another reason to act foolish. You are the only authority on what is best for you.
Hugh Prather
There are only three things you need to let go of judging, controlling, and being right. Release these three and you will have the whole mind and twinkly heart of a child.
Hugh Prather
Today I don't want to live for, I want to live.
Hugh Prather
Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather
It's not that today is the first day of the rest of my life, but that now is all there is of my life.
Hugh Prather
If my attention is wandering, there is somewhere it wants to go, so obviously it does not want to be where I am holding it in the name of some self-styled obligation.
Hugh Prather
When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown.
Hugh Prather
Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risks on new behavior, trying new ways of 'being myself', so that I can see who it is I want to be.
Hugh Prather
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
Hugh Prather
The fatal mistake is waiting for life's circumstances to be right before we begin. Simply begin with your heart, look deeply into it and trust what you feel. Practice knowing and you will know.
Hugh Prather
I talk because I feel, and I talk to you because I want you to know how I feel.
