More quotes by Marianne Williamson
When love is our guiding light, we can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world. Gaining the courage and confidence to stand up for what you believe in is not always easy, but it's fully within your reach.
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.
Marianne Williamson
What emerges from the silence is the deafening sound of an old world disintegrating.
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
Instead of praying: 'Dear God, bring me someone fabulous,' try: 'Dear God, make me into someone fabulous.'
Marianne Williamson
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
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
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
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.
Marianne Williamson
You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.
Marianne Williamson
We shouldn’t use our own upset as an excuse for not helping.
Marianne Williamson
There are people today who look to fear to take us out of fear. But I believe that there are many, many more people who would look to love.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes sadness is appropriate. Not something to run from, not something to numb...just something to feel.
Marianne Williamson
If we come to see that this world does not have the final word, then we open our mind and therefore our entire lives to experience the possibility of infinite possibilities.
Marianne Williamson
Embryos turn into babies buds turn into blossoms acorns turn into oak trees. The same programming that exists in them exists in each of us - to manifest our highest potential. What is the difference between those things and us? That we can say no...So today, say yes.
Marianne Williamson
There cannot be too many glorious women.
Marianne Williamson
The more you drop into your heart, the more God can drop into your mind.
Marianne Williamson
There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.
Marianne Williamson
People who are meditating every day and involved in a serious spiritual practice don't usually wake up in the morning and want to rush out to eat a bunch of junk food.
Marianne Williamson
Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.
Marianne Williamson
