Your Master Teacher knows all you need to learn, the perfect timing for your learning it, and the ideal way of teaching it to you. You don't create a Master Teacher -- that's already been done. You discover your Master Teacher.
Peter McWilliams
As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home.
Peter McWilliams
The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.
Peter McWilliams
You're asking the government to control individual morality. This is a government that can't buy a toilet seat for under $600.
Peter McWilliams
No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it.
Peter McWilliams

Unfortunately, because depressed people think negatively about depression and its treatment, they don't get help, which allows the depression to worsen, which leads to more negative thinking, which produces a vicious cycle of suffering.
Peter McWilliams
Guilt is anger directed at ourselves - at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others - at what they did or did not do.
Peter McWilliams
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
Peter McWilliams
Be easier on yourself, on everyone, on everything. Suspend your judgments on the way things should be, must be, and ought to be. Suspending judgments gives you greater ease. Consider ease the antidote for disease.
Peter McWilliams
I feel that I am entitled to take medicinal marijuana. In general, I believe that everyone who has a doctor's prescription is entitled to take marijuana. I, however, do not believe that my day in court should be taken from me, and that's essentially what's happening.
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
If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.
Peter McWilliams
By pursuing any one of our dreams, we can find fulfillment. We don't need to pursue them all.
Peter McWilliams
Happiness requires courage, stamina, persistence, fortitude, perseverance, bravery, boldness, valor, vigor, concentration, solidity, substance, backbone, grit, guts, moxie, nerve, pluck, resilience, spunk, tenacity, tolerance, will power, chutzpah, and a good thesaurus.
Peter McWilliams
Anger begins as an inner twinge. We sense something long before it blossoms (explodes?) into an emotional tirade. If we listen to this twinge -- and follow its advice -- the emotional outburst (or in burst) is not needed.
Peter McWilliams
Our thoughts create our reality - where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.
