A cheery relaxation is man's natural state, just as nature itself is relaxed. A waterfall is concerned only with being itself, not with doing something it considers waterfall-like.

More quotes by Vernon Howard
We cannot be free of nagging desires through suppression. This is like trying to keep a rubber boat beneath the water. But we remove compulsive desires altogether by understanding their nature.
Vernon Howard
Awareness of your weakness and confusion makes you strong because conscious awareness is the bright light that destroys the darkness of negativity. Detection of inner negativity is not a negative act, but a courageously positive act that makes you a new person.
Vernon Howard
Bitterness is the outcome of a wrong mental movement - the attempt to force external events to conform to internal fantasy. The cure is to see fantasy as fantasy, which will reveal it as neither necessary nor rewarding.
Vernon Howard
Don't try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being.
Vernon Howard
See human nonsense as nonsense and save years of trying to make sense out of it.
Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
The search for truth is really a lot of good fun.
Vernon Howard
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Vernon Howard
The genuinely spiritual person is one who has lost all desire to be anyone but exactly who he is, without labels and without apologies. He is what he is and that's all there's is to it. Such a man is undivided, uncomplicated and contented.
Vernon Howard
We clearly realize that freedom's inner kingdom cannot be touched by exterior attacks.
Vernon Howard
Truth breaks you down so it can rebuild you according to its specifications in Heaven.
Vernon Howard
Remember above all that mental stability comes by examining the contents of the mind, not by avoidence.
Vernon Howard
A false path must be tensely and angrily defended by those it has deceived.
Vernon Howard
Your central self is totally untouched by grief, confusion, desperation.
Vernon Howard
