More quotes by Marianne Williamson
The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.
Marianne Williamson
We will make love an art and we will love like artists.
Marianne Williamson
No true search for enlightenment ignores the suffering of other sentient beings. Ever. We simply need to create a way to address that suffering while remaining in a blissful center.
Marianne Williamson
What if we truly believed that there is a beneficent order to things, a force that's holding things together without our conscious control? What if we could see, in our daily lives, the working of that force? What if we believed it loved us somehow and cared for us, and protected us? What if we believed we could afford to relax?
Marianne Williamson
If you are dealing with life from a low-level sensibility, the Internet can be a tool for manifesting that. But if you're dealing with life from the highest sensibility, it can also be your tool for manifesting that. The simple reason is that it doesn't cost money.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
Marianne Williamson
I don't believe there are any powers, which in the larger sense, are unnatural or even supernatural. I think we just do not yet scientifically understand all of the powers inherent in the human consciousness, and the more attuned we are to the realm of spirit, the more our conscious mind is available to subconscious, spiritual prompting.

My story has been the story of my generation.

Faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work it just means you're absolutely certain the work will pay off.
Marianne Williamson
Enlightenment doesn't mean we were never wounded it means we've found a way to evolve beyond our wounds. Enlightenment isn't idealistic it's practical. What's idealistic is thinking we can live from our wounds, stay in our weakness, and ever transform the world.
Marianne Williamson
Our hearts are being stretched to span the violence and the suffering in our lives and world, and at the same time we are also witness to so much magnificence and brilliance. We are a species that has produced nuclear weapons, and also one that has developed profound insight into the nature of life itself.
Marianne Williamson
Fear is a psychic tyrant that has no intention of letting its slave go free. It will say whatever it needs to say to confuse your thinking... It will always seek to preserve itself.
Marianne Williamson
Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
All things show up in the world according to the purposes we ascribe to them.
Marianne Williamson
People want the nation to transform in the same way they want their own lives to transform. If you're interested in transforming your life, you can't just transform some things. You can't try to fix some things, but sweep other things under the rug because it's too hard to face them. And the same is true for a nation.
Marianne Williamson
The body IS a miracle, after all.
Marianne Williamson
Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind...In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.
Marianne Williamson
It is our own thoughts that hold the key to miraculous transformation.
Marianne Williamson
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.
