More quotes by Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.
Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.
Vernon Howard
It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret.
Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
The only reason you do not do great things is because you timidly cling to small things. Will you let loose of small things and bear the uncertainty of having nothing for a while? Do this and eventually you will do great things.
Vernon Howard
All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.
Vernon Howard
There exists a special self which takes every event as if it were the very thing you wanted to happen. That self is the Supermind, which is never upset by anything. Your goal is to nourish it into greater strength. Then, every step is sunlit.
Vernon Howard
Freedom begins as we become conscious of it.
Vernon Howard
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
Vernon Howard
What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
Vernon Howard
You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward Trueness at last.
Vernon Howard
