More quotes by Hugh Prather
It seems that the truth is needed today is always a lie by tomorrow.
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
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
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
Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand-out exception. It is clear and compelling in its logic and flat-out inspiring in its inviting exposition of usable techniques and strategies. If this book is read by enough people, the world will transform.
Hugh Prather
We feel understood by people who like us misunderstood by people who don't -- and those feelings are probably realistic.
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
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
An argument is always about what has been made more important than the relationship.
Hugh Prather
I'd rather be happy than right.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.
Hugh Prather
Because the results are unpredictable, no effort of mine is doomed to failure.
Hugh Prather
Today I don't want to live for, I want to live.
Hugh Prather
There is no place love is not.
Hugh Prather
What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.
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
I can't be found in myself I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.
Hugh Prather
A messy mortal is my friend. Come walk with me in the mud.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now.
Hugh Prather
Don't fight a fact, deal with it.
