In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., No lie will last forever. We have to work at removing lies from our own hearts. And on the national level, we do this not because we blame our country, but because we love it.

There is nothing spiritual about complacency.

I feel that the social revolution of the sixties is like a revolving door that came our way, and then left. It's back again.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

Pleasure can be used to enslave a people just as effectively as pain.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I trust life not because I trust the world, but because I trust the God who lives in my heart.
Marianne Williamson

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 also think the women's movement has unintentionally contributed to the dishonoring of motherhood. It happened because we made such a big deal about our right to go out into the world.

Sometimes when we don't know the answer, it's time to simply be with the question.

The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical. We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to go there, to gather and think deep thoughts together.
