We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.
Marianne Williamson
Image
When you carry yesterday's thinking into today, you program tomorrow to be like yesterday.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We are dominated on this planet by a fear-based rather than a love-based thought system. Enlightenment involves relinquishing the thought system based on fear and instead accepting a thought system based on love.
Marianne Williamson
Image
If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.

Beauty is an internal light, a spiritual radiance that all women have, but most women hide - unconsciously denying its existence. What we do not claim, remains invisible.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.
Marianne Williamson
Image
God isn't a noun but a process...a continual, infinitely creative outpouring of love and light onto all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Image
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
Image
I don't think that my twenties were any more dramatic than those of most people I know. I was never that bad and I never became that good.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Nothing is so dangerous for our security as large groups of desperate people.
Marianne Williamson
Image
By bringing the past into the present, we create a future just like the past. By letting the past go, we make room for miracles.
Marianne Williamson
Image
The sense of endings as well as beginnings in the air is now so obvious in so many dimensions of our experience that a critical mass has been reached.
Marianne Williamson
Image
I think that every moment you succumb to cynicism, you're taking energy away from change.
Marianne Williamson
Image
As you get older, life gets harder if you're not applying spiritual truths.
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
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Marianne Williamson
Image
Angels light the way. Angels do not begrudge anyone anything, angels do not tear down, angels do not compete, angels do not constrict their hearts, angels do not fear. That's why they sing and that's how they fly. We, of course, are only angels in disguise.
