More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Conscious awareness is the source of our healing...Only when you say the truth can the truth set you free. This is not a negative process, but at times it is a difficult process.
Marianne Williamson
I try to be self-disciplined with my thoughts. It’s our thoughts that matter most, and all the rest falls into line behind that: if I remember who I really am and why I’m on the earth, then I more naturally want to treat my body like a temple and so forth.
Marianne Williamson
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.
Marianne Williamson
Living meaningfully is what brings joy.
Marianne Williamson
the spiritual meaning of every situation [is] not what happens to us, but what we do with what happens to us and who we decide to become because of what happens to us. The only real failure is the failure to grow from what we go through.
Marianne Williamson
Generation after generation can't just be loaded with more and more nuclear weapons and not ultimately dance to that music.
Marianne Williamson
Silence is the Sabbath of the soul. Therein we rest, and therein we hear everything.
Marianne Williamson
Once the Western mind was disconnected from its sense of divine responsibility and genuine reverence towards nature, all hell broke loose. And that’s where we are now.
Marianne Williamson
We were born with a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a richer world, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous. What happened?
Marianne Williamson
Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.
Marianne Williamson
The only thing missing in any situation is that in which you are not giving
Marianne Williamson
In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.
Marianne Williamson
From a pure metaphysical perspective, there is no world outside ourselves. So, at the deepest level, the state of the planet is more a reflection of the consciousness of mankind than the consciousness of mankind is a reflection of world events.
Marianne Williamson
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
The biggest problem is our lack of response-ability. That’s what happens when money rather than love is the bottom line. People act like idiots.
Marianne Williamson
God isn't a noun but a process...a continual, infinitely creative outpouring of love and light onto all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Nobody wants to die feeling that they have not sung their song.
Marianne Williamson
Once you get to your forties or fifties in this society, very few people haven't had at least one body blow - financial, bankruptcy, divorce, relationship disaster, addiction, trouble with a child, trouble with a parent. Most people take some blow.
Marianne Williamson
Living in this world, under the dominance of the ego mind, is difficult. That's the struggle.
Marianne Williamson
These are very serious times, and serious people need to be doing some serious thinking.
