More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Don't go to work to make money go to work to spread joy.
Marianne Williamson
A healthy, vital society is not one in which we all agree. It is one in which those who disagree can do so with honor and respect for other people's opinions... and an appreciation of our shared humanity.
Marianne Williamson
We must seek to be intellectually inclusive, just as we seek to be culturally inclusive. Ideas come and go - that's what makes a free society so vital.
Marianne Williamson
Do not fear. Look beyond what's dying to what's being born.
Marianne Williamson
If a person is fearful, it is a fearful time. If a person is hopeful, it's a hopeful time. If you look at world events one way, fear is reasonable. If you look at the world another way, hope is justified.
Marianne Williamson
Love will not just heal your life or mine. Love will heal the world.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes you are lifted up to the mountaintop as a gift from the universe, so you can see what is possible. Then you are put down back at the bottom: Now you have to earn it for yourself.
Marianne Williamson
Great spiritual teachings do not change, but we do. As we grow older and wiser, we can receive the teachings at deeper levels.
Marianne Williamson
A person acting from a motivation of contribution and service rises to such a level of moral authority that worldly success is a natural result.
Marianne Williamson
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Marianne Williamson
I believe that the spirit of God enters into the details and if we ask for guidance we will be led to the places where we can learn most fully because we can be most joyful. If I'm in a place that's lonely, I think God has one or two things to say. Extend your hand in service so that you might meet people or go somewhere else - or both.
Marianne Williamson
Spiritual wisdom is now available to everyone, disseminated to the masses as never before in world history.
Marianne Williamson
The desire for transcendence is intimately connected with the desire for creativity. It is just as essential to who and what we are.
Marianne Williamson
We don't reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.
Marianne Williamson
Only what I am not giving can be lacking in any situation.
Marianne Williamson
Lives with no more sense of spiritual meaning than that provided by shopping malls, ordinary television, and stagnant workplaces are barren lives indeed. Spirituality enriches culture.
Marianne Williamson
Life as we knew it is passing away, and something new is emerging to take its place, The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life.
Marianne Williamson
I feel that as women we've allowed ourselves to be deluded by certain ideas that hold us back, such as the over-glorification of masculine consciousness.
Marianne Williamson
Once you know that every moment and every person and every situation has something to teach you, you're a student all day. You know it's the depth of your observation that is the issue - not how much the world has to show you.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes we think, We're the only people who see it this way, but that's really not the case.
Marianne Williamson
