I'm better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I'll be tomorrow.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Fear is trusting in your own power.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I think that every moment you succumb to cynicism, you're taking energy away from change.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Every aspect of life is pre-programmed to rise to its highest creative possibility. We don't have to make that happen, but we have to allow it to happen. And that itself is the struggle of life: resisting the resistant mind.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You receive the light through what you read, through what you hear in meditation, or through some spiritual practice.
Marianne Williamson
Image
God isn't a noun but a process...a continual, infinitely creative outpouring of love and light onto all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I feel that people who haven't read my books and haven't heard me lecture - who don't in fact know what my work is about - have been very hard on me. There is an expression in Alcoholics Anonymous called contempt prior to investigation. I feel many people practice contempt prior to investigation.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The Light in you is the unalterable truth of who you are. You can deny it and obscure it, but you cannot uncreate it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes we think, We're the only people who see it this way, but that's really not the case.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Silence is the Sabbath of the soul. Therein we rest, and therein we hear everything.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Great people are not people who have never fallen down. Greatness has to do with how you get back up.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The problem with most intimate relationships is that they are not romantic. They do not involve a deeper knowing, and thus there is diminished possibility of sacred, transformative sharing.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment.
Marianne Williamson

Our past is a story existing only in our minds. Look, analyze, understand, and forgive. Then, as quickly as possible, chuck it.
Marianne Williamson
