More quotes by 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

Hugh Prather
When we recognize that nothing has to go right for us to be happy, that people do not have to behave for us to love them, our walk home can be surprisingly simple. We have enormous power not to manipulate the world, but to be happy and to know peace.

Don't fight a fact, deal with it.
Hugh Prather

Hugh Prather
There is no place love is not.
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
We become what we look at most.
Hugh Prather
perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like i would want it to, just like i would plan for it to, then i would never experience anything new my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when i make a mistake i experience something unexpected.... when i have listened to my mistakes i have grown.
Hugh Prather
Letting people in is largely a matter of not expending the energy to keep them out.
Hugh Prather
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
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.
