Marianne Williamson
Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.
Marianne Williamson
The teenager begins to realize he or she really does want to be part of a community, really does want to have good relationships with others, really does want to create something truly good with his or her life. The teenager comes to understand just being smart and just being privileged are not enough.
Marianne Williamson
Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.
Marianne Williamson
Hope is born of participation in hopeful solutions.
Marianne Williamson
We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing.
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
If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.
Marianne Williamson
May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.
Marianne Williamson
Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And NEVER do it for the money, Go to work to spread joy.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes when everything has totally apart, the meaningless preoccupations that so often dominate our lives simply fall away. And what is left is who we really are, and who we really are is compassionate and intelligent and wise.
