Image
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
Image
We find our happiness to the extent to which we use our minds to bless the world, for that is the natural use of the mind. It is the reason we were born.
Marianne Williamson

Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
When we surrender to God, we let go of our attachment to how things happen on the outside, and we become more concerned with what happens on the inside.
