More quotes by Peter McWilliams
Prison is a crash course in the darker side of life. Few survive it without becoming a different person: more cynical, jaded, fearful, angry. Its hard to trust again, hard to believe, easy to hate a system that destroyed your life behind the pompous pretense of saving you from yourself, for your own good.
Peter McWilliams
To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
Peter McWilliams
Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.
Peter McWilliams
This is a lifetime of good-byes. In our time, we will say good-bye to cherished people, things, and ideas. Eventually, we say good-bye to life itself with our death. Learn to say a good good-bye. Allow yourself to mourn each loss. As with a physical wound, the body has its own schedule for healing. It will tell you when it has healed.

I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.
Peter McWilliams
First, all relationships are with yourself-and sometimes they involve other people. Second, the most important relationship in your life-the one you have, like it or not, until the day you die-is with yourself.
Peter McWilliams
If you were arrested for being kind to yourself..would there be enough evidence to convict you?
Peter McWilliams
Learn to forgive fully and completely. If you want health, wealth, and happiness, you can't afford the luxury of lugging around all those unforgiven, unforgotten past events. Let them go.
Peter McWilliams
Don't accept the limitations of other people who claim things are 'unchangeable'. If it's written in stone, bring your hammer and chisel.
Peter McWilliams
Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
Peter McWilliams
I'm tired of people thinking that Libertarians don't have morality- that they don't have values. that's a lot of hogwash. Libertarians are the ONLY politicians with values.
Peter McWilliams
When thought and action are combined, the results are powerful-among the most powerful forces on earth. The combination of successful communication-the sharing of thoughts-and physical action can, literally, move mountains.
Peter McWilliams
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
Peter McWilliams
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
Peter McWilliams
If you want physical peace, stop the struggle of life. Don't push the body beyond its fatigue point. Rest the body enough. Exercise it enough. Then let it be. ... If you want peace with others, don't fight them. Go your own way. Live your own life. If some walk with you, fine.
Peter McWilliams
We are all, right now, living the life we choose.
