In asking for miracles, we are seeking a practical goal: a return to inner peace. We’re not asking for something outside us to change, but for something inside us to change. We’re looking for a softer orientation to life.

More quotes by Marianne Williamson
There is a lot to look at when you are serious about transformation. You look at everything you've ever done, every circumstance you've ever been in, cleaning up everything in your past. Reconciling, forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's a lot of work, actually.
Marianne Williamson
The solution to low self-esteem is to get over yourself and get a higher purpose.
Marianne Williamson
In each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of peace on earth.
Marianne Williamson
Great people are not people who have never fallen down. Greatness has to do with how you get back up.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes we think, We're the only people who see it this way, but that's really not the case.
Marianne Williamson
The Founders didn't mention political parties when they wrote the Constitution, and George Washington in essence warned us against them in his Farewell Address.
Marianne Williamson
I don't like the tendency on the part of so many people today to think that those who don't agree with them are bad. In fact, I find that very dangerous.
Marianne Williamson
Instead of praying: 'Dear God, bring me someone fabulous,' try: 'Dear God, make me into someone fabulous.'
Marianne Williamson
Do not fear. Look beyond what's dying to what's being born.
Marianne Williamson
You receive the light through what you read, through what you hear in meditation, or through some spiritual practice.
Marianne Williamson
Gandhi said the end is inherent in the means, which means you cannot create any more peace than you yourself have attained. An angry generation will not bring peace.
Marianne Williamson
People don't live in Los Angeles because we are tied to the same old, same old. We live in Los Angeles because of the intoxicating energy of new beginnings that permeate our city.
Marianne Williamson
The concept of a divine, or 'Christ'-mind, is the idea that, at our core, we are not just identical, but actually the same being.
Marianne Williamson
For many people, God is a frightening idea. Asking God for help doesn't seem very comforting if we think of Him as something outside ourselves, or capricious, or judgmental. But God is love and He dwells within us. We are created in His image, or mind, which means that we are extensions of His love, or Sons and Daughters of God.
Marianne Williamson
The level of violence on the planet today is no longer sustainable.
Marianne Williamson
It's difficult to be alive in America today and truly be in denial anymore. It's not hip to be unconscious or uninvolved. One of our great strengths is that we're an optimistic people, but that doesn't mean we don't have sad days.
Marianne Williamson
There is a point at which we begin to receive a diminishing return on the accumulation of sacred knowledge unless we use it to at least try to improve the world.
Marianne Williamson
I think there is a place where self-awareness becomes self-preoccupation if you don't take what you have discovered and bring it to bear on the conditions of the world.
Marianne Williamson
Imagine everything you're experiencing now being a hundred times more wonderful. Bad turns good good turns great. THAT IS WHAT IS POSSIBLE.
Marianne Williamson
Miracles begin when we consider the possibility that there might be another way.
