When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.

Inviting people to inquiry is much more powerful to me than describing my experience... When people hear me tell the story, they often say, "Oh my goodness, I get it. I get it!" But it's not enough.

There is nothing that isn't true if you believe it; and nothing is true, believe it or not.

As long as you think that the cause of your problem is "out there" - as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering - the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.

When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.

Nothing can cost you someone you love. The only thing that can cost you your husband is if you believe a thought. That's how you move away from him. That's how the marriage ends. You are one with your husband until you believe the thought that he should look a certain way, he should give you something, he should be something other than what he is. That's how you divorce him. Right then and there you have lost your marriage.
