Quote

There is a point at which we begin to receive a diminishing return on the accumulation of sacred knowledge unless we use it to at least try to improve the world.

Our deepest need is to be seen.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Yes, we see that there are problems in the world. But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Hatred is the spiritual malignancy of our species, and like any other form of cancer, does its most terrible work not outwardly, but from within us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Depression might have chosen you, but you don't have to choose it back. Sometimes happiness comes with bootstraps, but so what? Pull 'em up. Choose joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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.

The more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I'm certainly not saying anything new, and I'm not even saying anything all that different from what everyone else I know is saying right now - I'm saying what millions of people are saying. I'm just saying it publicly.

Image
I find being a mother harder than I though it was going to be. That is a tremendous revelation for me personally. Much more time, more care, more attention and more effort needs to be spent on care for the children. That will save the world at large.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The highest level of creativity consists in being, not doing. When the being is intense enough, when the words are spoken enough, when the thoughts are thought enough, the doing will automatically follow.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are not here to fix, change or belittle another person. We are here to support, forgive and heal one another.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Whether we love, or close our hearts to love, is a mental choice we make, every moment of every day.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The soul force we need in America today, more than any other, is the spirit of atonement. We need to humble ourselves before God and ask forgiveness for the things we have done wrong. We need to ask God to forgive us for our arrogance.
Marianne Williamson
Image
From a mind filled with infinite love comes the power to create infinite possibilities. We have the power to think in ways that reflect and attract all the love in the world. Such thinking is called enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a process we work toward, but a choice available to us in any instant.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Making our goal anything other than peace is emotionally self-destructive.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Our barriers to love are rarely consciously chosen. They are our efforts to protect the places where the heart is bruised.
