More quotes by Marianne Williamson
You're not to wallow, but if you don't process your regrets, then they remain emotional underground toxins.
Marianne Williamson
Sadness is just a place on the map. Don't try to avoid it, resist it or escape through substances. Settle it, allow it, and it will go.
Marianne Williamson
Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.
Marianne Williamson
Think of one person who you are tempted for any reason to withhold love from, and pray for their happiness. In that moment your pain will stop.
Marianne Williamson
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
With every prayer and every thought of love, we release the light that will cast out darkness. One light alone seems small and weak, but no one's light is ever alone, for all our lights are part of God.
Marianne Williamson
I think that every moment you succumb to cynicism, you're taking energy away from change.
Marianne Williamson
My father was a deeply committed humanitarian. He was a fighter for social justice. He was spirited in the deepest sense.
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
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Marianne Williamson
My biggest sorrow, when looking back on my youth, is how much of it I somehow missed. Now, looking at my life today, I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't want to miss this. As Bonnie Raitt sang like she was singing it for all of us, Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
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
I don't believe the United States is going through a midlife crisis. The United States is going through an adolescent crisis.
Marianne Williamson
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
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.
Marianne Williamson
I think moral outrage is born not of anger but of love. It comes from the highest in us, not from a low-level sense of anger or cynicism.
Marianne Williamson
Since our peace lies in loving as God loves, we must strive to love everyone. The only love that completes us is the love of God, and the love of God is the love of everyone.
Marianne Williamson
Many people who say they're looking for love are merely looking for superficial comfort. They're not looking yet for the true romantic adventure. For that entails a readiness to die to who we were, in order to be born again prepared for love, truly worthy of the romantic heights.
Marianne Williamson
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson
Real intimacy real love has to do with a joining of the mind, a joining of the spirit, a joining of the heart.
Marianne Williamson
