More quotes by Marianne Williamson
Sometimes the purpose of a day is to merely feel our sadness, knowing that as we do, we allow whole layers of grief, like old skin cells to drop off us
Marianne Williamson
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
Pleasure can be used to enslave a people just as effectively as pain.
Marianne Williamson
You're not to wallow, but if you don't process your regrets, then they remain emotional underground toxins.
Marianne Williamson
If a person is fearful, it is a fearful time. If a person is hopeful, it's a hopeful time. If you look at world events one way, fear is reasonable. If you look at the world another way, hope is justified.
Marianne Williamson
What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present.
Marianne Williamson
I think daily life is where the lessons come in - that's where the tests and the growth come in.
Marianne Williamson
What a Beethoven, Shakespeare or Picasso has done is not create something, so much as they have accessed that place within themselves from which they could express that which has been created by God.
Marianne Williamson
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
Marianne Williamson
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.
Marianne Williamson
We need not wait for the world to become more mystical the world is mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic our problem is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life, and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.
Marianne Williamson
We don't ask God for too much in fact, we ask for too little. Turn to Him for everything. Give everything to God.
Marianne Williamson
The reason we don't often confront the larger question of whether or not war is survivable is because of a failure of imagination. We honestly cannot imagine having reached a state in our own evolution in which we do not fight.
Marianne Williamson
If I choose to bless another person, I will always end up feeling more blessed.
Marianne Williamson
Embryos turn into babies buds turn into blossoms acorns turn into oak trees. The same programming that exists in them exists in each of us - to manifest our highest potential. What is the difference between those things and us? That we can say no...So today, say yes.
Marianne Williamson
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.
Marianne Williamson
Forgiveness is the ultimate preventive medicine, as well as the greatest healer.
Marianne Williamson
We think we need to create ourselves, always doing a paste-up job on our personalities. That is because we're trying to be special rather than real. We're pathetically trying to conform with all the other people trying to do the same.
Marianne Williamson
Any time we read a newspaper or take any look at the world around us, we are aware of the cruelty and violence that dominates our world.
Marianne Williamson
The role of a leader is not to rule over other people, but to hold a space for their own genius.
