More quotes by Hugh Prather
It seems that the truth is needed today is always a lie by tomorrow.
Hugh Prather
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
Hugh Prather
If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.
Hugh Prather
I talk because I feel, and I talk to you because I want you to know how I feel.
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
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
There is no place love is not.
Hugh Prather
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
Boredom or discontent is useful to me when I acknowledge it and see clearly my assumption that there's something else I would rather be doing. In this way boredom can act as an invitation to freedom by opening me to new options and thoughts. For example, if I can't change the activity, can I look at it more honestly?
Hugh Prather

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
Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.
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
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.
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
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
Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.
Hugh Prather
We become what we look at most.
Hugh Prather
Books seek us out. They slip themselves into our hands just at the time we are ready for a new self-concept.
Hugh Prather
A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
