We go through those circumstances in order to evolve into people who can hold to our loving center no matter what the world throws us. A loving universe makes sure that we go through those things too.

King Solomon, who supposedly was the wisest of all men, described his youth as his winter and his advanced years as his summer. We can be older than we used to be yet feel much younger than we are.
Marianne Williamson
Image
By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.

Image
If you know what makes one person's life change, then you know what makes a nation change - because a nation is simply a large group of individuals.
Marianne Williamson
Image
You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.

I don't think making love the new bottom line is naïve I believe that thinking we can survive the next hundred years doing anything less, is naïve.

Image
You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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.

There is no greater gift to future generations than that we do the work God has asked us to do: love one another, that the world might be made right.

I do believe 50 is the new 40 and 60 is the new 50. Hell, maybe 60 can be the new 40, I don't know. I believe that when we give ourselves permission, we can live with an excitement and heat and passion that most women in previous generations were unable to attain.

The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical. We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to go there, to gather and think deep thoughts together.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I don't feel there is any spiritual or metaphysical justification for turning our backs on human suffering.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Spiritual growth increases our sense of what's possible. And as we sense new possibility, we can step into that possibility. With every word, every thought, every action, we choose what we wish to call forth in life.

We resist Joy on this planet more than we resist war.

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.

Obviously, our political system is profoundly corrupted by, among other things, the influence of money. But, at a deeper level, the current structure is flawed because it looks to citizens for only two things - votes and money. I don't think we will see any healing until citizens are viewed in a whole new way.

To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Some people think it's naive to think we can make love our new bottom line. What I believe is naive is thinking human civilization as we know it will survive another two hundred years if we do not.

Pleasure can be used to enslave a people just as effectively as pain.

The bottom line in love is not whether someone loves you, but whether someone chooses you.
