More quotes by Vernon Howard
Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it...but those who do will become well.
Vernon Howard

Vernon Howard
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
Vernon Howard
We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.
Vernon Howard
Mysticism is: a. An advanced state of inner enlightenment. b. Union with Reality. c. A state of genuinely satisfying success. d. Insight into an entirely new world of living. e. An intuitive grasp of Truth, above and beyond intellectual reasoning. f. A personal experience, in which we are happy and healthy human beings.
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

Vernon Howard
Aloneness is a wise teacher. Kierkegaard remarked that one sign of spiritual maturity was the ability to be comfortable when alone.
Vernon Howard
Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.
Vernon Howard
Truth breaks you down so it can rebuild you according to its specifications in Heaven.
Vernon Howard
All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied.
Vernon Howard
See human nonsense as nonsense and save years of trying to make sense out of it.
Vernon Howard
It is a thousand times more sensible to climb one foot up the mountainside than to chatter for years about the mountaintop.
Vernon Howard
Study carefully the law of cause and effect.
Vernon Howard
Cruelty practiced as a matter of social principle or public policy, and presented to the community as a means to a higher goal is the most obscene and decadent phenomenon of any civilization.
Vernon Howard
Just be honest with yourself. That opens the door.
