More quotes by Hugh Prather
All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.
Hugh Prather
If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.
Hugh Prather
If a man takes off his sunglasses I can hear him better.
Hugh Prather
Next time I will ... From now on I will ... - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?
Hugh Prather
Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.
Hugh Prather
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
Hugh Prather

True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together.
Hugh Prather
When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you.
Hugh Prather
When I get to where I can enjoy just lying on the rug picking up lint balls, I will no longer be too ambitious.
Hugh Prather
There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.
Hugh Prather
Letting people in is largely a matter of not expending the energy to keep them out.
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
Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I'm bored there must be something else I want to be doing... boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.
