Marianne Williamson

• "I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.“
• "Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.“
• "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.“
• "As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.“
• "The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.“
• "Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.“
• "I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.“
• "The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.“
• "Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.“
• "You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.“
• "As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.“
• "Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.“
• "I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.“
• "God is definitely out of the closet.“
• "Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.“
• "The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.“
• "We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.“
• "May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.“
• "Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.“
• "Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.“
• "We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.“
• "The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.“
• "Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.“
• "Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.“
• "Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.“
• "Fill you mind with the meaningless stimuli of a world preoccupied with meaningless things, and it will not be easy to feel peace in your heart.“
• "We receive His peace when we ask Him for it. We keep His peace by extending it to others. Those are the keys and there are no others.“
• "In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.“
• "In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.“
• "We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.“
• "I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'“
• "In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.“
• "Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.“
• "The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.“
