Quote

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.

You need not apologize for being brilliant, talented, gorgeous, rich, or smart.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You can know everything that the books have to say, but ultimately it boils down to whether we do the inner work of devotion and surrender, whether we can put aside our own agendas and allow the spirit to move through us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I think that's what we all want on this earth - to feel that at some level we have connected with other human beings.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I'm certainly not saying anything new, and I'm not even saying anything all that different from what everyone else I know is saying right now - I'm saying what millions of people are saying. I'm just saying it publicly.
Marianne Williamson
Image
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.

What I think about you, I will not be able to escape thinking about myself, and what I do to you, I will not be able to escape experiencing myself.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Once we truly understand that God's will is that we be happy, we no longer feel the need to ask for anything other than that God's will be done.

Image
Often faith isn't hoping that good times are coming it's trying to see that the good times are here.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Nobody has to tell me about the glories of the capitalist system. But what concerns me is that there no longer seems to be a commitment to make the opportunities afforded by technology and capitalism universally accessible.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The wisdom that comes from having experienced heartbreak cannot be bequeathed it can only be gained through experience. And having truly felt it, we are far more likely to have compassion for others. Anything that takes us close to true compassion takes us closer to what will one day be an experience of even greater joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Where there is lack, God’s abundance is on the way. Hold on. Have faith. It’s coming.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If you think humanity can get itself out of all this mess without divine help, then you're not being hopeful - you're hallucinating.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Once the Western mind was disconnected from its sense of divine responsibility and genuine reverence towards nature, all hell broke loose. And that’s where we are now.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Instead of praying: 'Dear God, bring me someone fabulous,' try: 'Dear God, make me into someone fabulous.'
Marianne Williamson
Image
We can't look to the world to restore our worth we're here to restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reflect our glory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can crown us, and he already has.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We need more than a new politics what we need is a new worldview. We need a fundamentally different bottom line.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The point of Jesus' existence wasn't to lessen or diminish our appreciation of each other, but to expand our appreciation of each other by reminding us what lies within all of us, because Jesus was an example of the pinnacle of human evolution.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The biggest problem is our lack of response-ability. That’s what happens when money rather than love is the bottom line. People act like idiots.
