More quotes by Hugh Prather

Hugh Prather
If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.

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
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
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
There is nothing more painful than walking around with bitterness in your heart.
Hugh Prather
'Fault' means failure to meet a standard. Whose? Mine.
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
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
My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
Hugh Prather
Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now.
