Fear is not life-giving enough to sustain itself. We can move in the direction of fear only so long before it brings us to our knees, or to our end.

More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Our religious institutions have far too often become handmaidens of the status quo, while the genuine religious experience is anything but that. True religion is by nature disruptive of what has been, giving birth to the eternally new.
Marianne Williamson
Fear is trusting in your own power.
Marianne Williamson
Liberation also means that even though I'm a woman I have masculine parts of my temperament which I can safely explore and integrate into my experience.
Marianne Williamson
The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
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 are all part of a vast sea of love. One indivisible mind.
Marianne Williamson
The work of intimacy, of course, is to learn to both show your own illumination, and to see it in a way that the physical eyes cannot reveal. In a way that only the heart can reveal: the illumined beauty in another person.
Marianne Williamson
I think the heartbreak of September 11 - America's grief not only over the loss of life but also the loss of our own innocence -has expanded us as people because it has tenderized our hearts. On a psychological level, the American people have matured as a result of that awful day.
Marianne Williamson
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson
With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle.
Marianne Williamson
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. When you choose to love, you choose to work miracles.
Marianne Williamson
Emmet Fox was one of the world's greatest metaphysical teachers. His works have contributed profoundly to the spiritual understanding of millions of people, including myself.
Marianne Williamson
As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.
Marianne Williamson
There is, inside all our heads, the ego’s rabid attack dog. It is purely vicious toward others and toward ourselves as well. Learning to control that dog, and ultimately to end its life, is the process and purpose of enlightened relationships.
Marianne Williamson
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
And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
Real liberation for men means that they can explore and integrate their feminine aspects of consciousness.
Marianne Williamson
The media establishment senses that the boats are coming and it has taken it upon itself to stand on those beaches and do everything it can to shoot the soldiers on the boats. They know the beaches will be taken.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes, when I talk to someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer or some other illness, I'll remind them: If you were honest with yourself, you were depressed before this happened. And if this were over you would be happy for a couple of weeks, a couple of months, and then something else would come along.
Marianne Williamson
It's funny, I see Wendy Kaminer herself as a kind of guru - a guru of the fashionably cynical set. Yet she uses the term guru to minimize my career, to marginalize my thoughts and to trivialize my work, as well as those of others.
