The power to be at peace - not because of anything your physical senses perceive, and sometimes in spite of what your physical senses perceive - is the power to help heal this world miraculously.
Marianne Williamson -
You can't 'work through worry and fear rationally,' because fear isn't rational!

Consider the possibility of infinite possibility.
Marianne Williamson -
The world we live in pictures a pie with only so many pieces, and if other people have more you have less, and you have to compete with other people in order to try to get ahead. You have to sell yourself at every available opportunity. The shift, the enlightened shift, has to do with a movement from competition to collaboration, from sales to service, from ambition to inspiration, and to a belief in scarcity to a belief in abundance as an eternal spiritual quality.
Marianne Williamson -
Even a happy life has a sad day. We fail to provide a context which says it's okay to cry, it's okay to be sad. So I think making the space for suffering is so important and making space for this expression of feelings in community.
Marianne Williamson -
I don't believe there are any powers, which in the larger sense, are unnatural or even supernatural. I think we just do not yet scientifically understand all of the powers inherent in the human consciousness, and the more attuned we are to the realm of spirit, the more our conscious mind is available to subconscious, spiritual prompting.
Marianne Williamson -
Faith is believing that the universe is on our side, and that the universe knows what it's doing. Faith is a psychological awareness of an unfolding force for good, constantly at work in all dimensions. Our attempts to direct this force only interferes with it. Our willingness to relax into it allows it to work on our behalf.
Marianne Williamson -
It's a fraction of the cost to prevent a war than prosecute a war.

When an idea reaches critical mass there is no stopping the shift its presence will induce.
Marianne Williamson -
I think the vast majority of Americans would have supported military action to stop the second plane from hitting the World Trade Center, if that had been possible. I would have been among them.
Marianne Williamson -
If we wait for the world’s permission to shine, we will never receive it. The ego doesn’t give that permission. Only God does, and He has already done so. He has sent you here as His personal representative and is asking you to channel His love into the world. Are you waiting for a more important job? There isn’t one.
Marianne Williamson -
Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.
Marianne Williamson -
The Western world is having an identity crisis.
Marianne Williamson -
I think it's unfortunate how many people today try to build up their own careers by denigrating the work of others.

There is nothing Madison Avenue can give us that will make us more beautiful women. We are beautiful because God created us that way.
Marianne Williamson -
Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse.
Marianne Williamson -
There should be an expanded role in this society for every human being. I see an expanded role for the human spirit, for excellence, for virtue, and for creativity - within women, and within everyone.
Marianne Williamson -
You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.
Marianne Williamson -
With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.
Marianne Williamson -
Love isn't material. It's energy... We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining and intimacy.
Marianne Williamson
-
The soul force we need in America today, more than any other, is the spirit of atonement. We need to humble ourselves before God and ask forgiveness for the things we have done wrong. We need to ask God to forgive us for our arrogance.
Marianne Williamson -
When love isn't in our lives, it's on the way. If you know that a special guest is coming at five o'clock, do you spend the day messing up the home? Of course not. You prepare. And that is what we should do for love.
Marianne Williamson -
The more mature we are, the more receptive we are.
Marianne Williamson -
Hope lies in having more faith in the power of God to heal us than in the power of anything to hurt or destroy us. In realizing that as children of God we are bigger than our problems, we have the power at last to confront them.
