More quotes by Marianne Williamson
A certain desperation is usually necessary before we're ready for God... Until your knees finally hit the floor, you're just playing at life, and on some level you're scared because you know you're just playing. The moment of surrender is not when life is over. It's when it begins
Marianne Williamson
I tell my mother I went to God in spite of my religious education. I feel that my religious education was inadequate, but that doesn't mean that Judaism was inadequate.
Marianne Williamson
Making our goal anything other than peace is emotionally self-destructive.
Marianne Williamson
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.
Marianne Williamson
Our religious institutions have far too often become handmaidens of the status quo, while the genuine religious experience is anything but that. True religion is by nature disruptive of what has been, giving birth to the eternally new.
Marianne Williamson
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson
We are here to repair the world. I grew up thinking that was what everybody was trying to do.
Marianne Williamson
People who hate often do so with great conviction. What we need are more people who love with conviction.
Marianne Williamson
To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player...The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.
Marianne Williamson
Prepare for the new expect the new embrace the new. Otherwise, you'll just repeat what's old.
Marianne Williamson
We don't reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.
Marianne Williamson
The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.
Marianne Williamson
You can know everything that the books have to say, but ultimately it boils down to whether we do the inner work of devotion and surrender, whether we can put aside our own agendas and allow the spirit to move through us.
Marianne Williamson
As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
Marianne Williamson
You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.
Marianne Williamson
Your future isn't programmed by your past it's programmed by your thoughts.
Marianne Williamson
It's difficult to be alive in America today and truly be in denial anymore. It's not hip to be unconscious or uninvolved. One of our great strengths is that we're an optimistic people, but that doesn't mean we don't have sad days.
Marianne Williamson
Liberation also means that even though I'm a woman I have masculine parts of my temperament which I can safely explore and integrate into my experience.
Marianne Williamson
There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.
Marianne Williamson
There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.
Marianne Williamson
