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.

If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Birth is violent, whether it be the birth of a child or the birth of an idea.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
America is a great country, and we've done a lot of good in the world. But we are a collection of people, not saints. We have our own sins to atone for.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Do not fear. Look beyond what's dying to what's being born.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Newtonian physics is over. You don't act on the world to change the world. You realize the world is a projection of your inner self. If you change, the world changes.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
I don't think that my twenties were any more dramatic than those of most people I know. I was never that bad and I never became that good.
Marianne Williamson
Image
It is not your job to seek for love. It IS your job to seek within yourself all the barriers against its coming.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We shouldn’t use our own upset as an excuse for not helping.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A lot of us simply disengaged from politics altogether, but then we woke up and went wow, wait a minute. Why does that insane conversation get to dominate? Who made those people the creators of the conversation? And how can we start a new one?
Marianne Williamson
Image
A person acting from a motivation of contribution and service rises to such a level of moral authority that worldly success is a natural result.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our most meaningful conversations go on late at night when we're on the phone with our friends or talking to our lovers.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Women will not be free until we can speak our minds and our hearts without having to worry that men will crucify us, women will crucify us, the press will crucify us, or our children will be ashamed... Women are still in emotional bondage as long as we feel we have to make a choice between being heard and being loved.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Fear is trusting in your own power.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Without nourishing our own souls, we can't nourish the world, for we cannot give what we do not have. As we attend to our souls, we emanate invisibly and involuntarily the light we have received.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I feel that as women we've allowed ourselves to be deluded by certain ideas that hold us back, such as the over-glorification of masculine consciousness.
