More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Our hearts are being stretched to span the violence and the suffering in our lives and world, and at the same time we are also witness to so much magnificence and brilliance. We are a species that has produced nuclear weapons, and also one that has developed profound insight into the nature of life itself.
Marianne Williamson
No true search for enlightenment ignores the suffering of other sentient beings. Ever. We simply need to create a way to address that suffering while remaining in a blissful center.
Marianne Williamson
Think of everything you've ever experienced that was painful that's the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart that's the meaning of Easter.
Marianne Williamson
The love in me salutes the love in you.
Marianne Williamson
The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.
Marianne Williamson
Sometimes, when I'm sitting with people who have been stripped of everything and who are naked and authentic and finding themselves for the first time, I am reminded of how good people really are.
Marianne Williamson
Change is in the air, as old patterns fall away and new energies are emerging. Consciously release what needs to be released, and welcome with a full embrace the newness you've prayed for and so richly deserve.
Marianne Williamson
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.
Marianne Williamson
My father's politics were old-fashioned in the sense that he used to say, all the time, You've got to fight the system! But my spiritual beliefs have led me to believe that the fight is the problem.
Marianne Williamson
Great people are not people who have never fallen down. Greatness has to do with how you get back up.
Marianne Williamson
There is nothing spiritual about complacency.
Marianne Williamson
Our challenge is to not look away, but rather to transform the field to create a new political conversation, our own conversation, out of which we can speak our truth in our own way.
Marianne Williamson
I think there is a place where self-awareness becomes self-preoccupation if you don't take what you have discovered and bring it to bear on the conditions of the world.
Marianne Williamson
Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.
Marianne Williamson
We need to recognize that part our political problem is that we do not participate effectively, that we suffer from a kind of mental slumber.
Marianne Williamson
We arrogantly assume that the nervous system doesn't really need to be coaxed into romance. That romance comes from some other place.
Marianne Williamson
We have a lot of choice about whether to interpret something as adversity or as opportunity. I see in myself the tendency at times to make situations worse than they have to be because of my catastrophic interpretation.
Marianne Williamson
Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.
Marianne Williamson
If I had to choose between a narrow-minded woman or a man who was an enlightened thinker, I would vote for the man.
Marianne Williamson
To me, liberation doesn't mean that I can think just like a man. Real liberation means that I can think, act, and be like a woman and receive equal respect, honor, and compensation.
Marianne Williamson
