Marianne Williamson

Marianne Williamson

Marianne Williamson
A meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.
Marianne Williamson
I trust life not because I trust the world, but because I trust the God who lives in my heart.
Marianne Williamson
The only thing missing in any situation is that in which you are not giving
Marianne Williamson
The level of violence on the planet today is no longer sustainable.
Marianne Williamson
Know that there's enough room for everyone to be passionate, creative & successful. In fact, there's more than room for everyone there is a need for everyone.
Marianne Williamson
Every thought creates form on some level and all that our physical experience is - is a reflection of our thoughts.
Marianne Williamson
We are likely to feel better when we go to bed tonight if we have an internal sense that we spent our lives meaningfully today.
