Marianne Williamson -
Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.
Marianne Williamson -
The reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we are not yet starring in our own lives. The cosmic spotlight isn’t pointed at you, it radiates from within you.
Marianne Williamson -
I think that's what we all want on this earth - to feel that at some level we have connected with other human beings.
Marianne Williamson -
I believe the human race is ready to make a quantum leap forward spiritually and morally.
Marianne Williamson -
We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-
Whatever it is that leads human beings to hate, to destroy, and to kill has taken on a collective force like never before, as technology and globalization now give it the capacity to not just strike, but to strike us all, together, as one.
Marianne Williamson -
Would a man ever be called vain for speaking his mind?
Marianne Williamson -
If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you.
Marianne Williamson -
Every aspect of life is pre-programmed to rise to its highest creative possibility. We don't have to make that happen, but we have to allow it to happen. And that itself is the struggle of life: resisting the resistant mind.
Marianne Williamson -
When love is our guiding light, we can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world. Gaining the courage and confidence to stand up for what you believe in is not always easy, but it's fully within your reach.

Trying to suppress or eradicate symptoms on the physical level can be extremely important, but there's more to healing than that; dealing with psychological, emotional and spiritual issues involved in treating sickness is equally important.

Organized religious institutions are in for a huge transformation, for the simple reason that people have become genuinely religious in spite of them.

Marianne Williamson -
As you get older, life gets harder if you're not applying spiritual truths.
Marianne Williamson -
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
Marianne Williamson -
The number one root of all illness, as we know, is stress.
Marianne Williamson
-
There is no they, only us. We are part of a large fellowship called the human race. We all hurt the same. We all love the same. We all bleed the same. We all need understanding and care. We can't separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of the same vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.
Marianne Williamson -
Newtonian physics is over. You don't act on the world to change the world. You realize the world is a projection of your inner self. If you change, the world changes.
Marianne Williamson -
We must seek to be intellectually inclusive, just as we seek to be culturally inclusive. Ideas come and go - that's what makes a free society so vital.
Marianne Williamson -
The religious stories, the religious truths, the spiritual principles - obviously, they don't change. But as you get older and you experience more, you recognize the applicability, the profundity, and the fundamental truths of spiritual principles in ways that you couldn't when you simply were living a less dimensional life.
