To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Marianne WilliamsonThe world as we know it is falling apart at the seams, because it's an inadequate container for the truth of who we are.
Marianne WilliamsonTo me, liberation doesn't mean that I can think just like a man. Real liberation means that I can think, act, and be like a woman and receive equal respect, honor, and compensation.
Marianne WilliamsonWe want spiritual principles to be more than beautiful abstractions; we want them to actually transform our lives.
Marianne WilliamsonIf you allow spirit to have dominion in your heart you will have dominion in your life. That changes thinking. That IS the miracle. That I'm not just a child of the body, I'm a child of the universe and in the universe I am programmed for greatness, and the fact that I don't have money in my bank account now doesn't mean I'm any less programmed for greatness. I was programmed for greatness just like the acorn is programmed to be an oak tree.
Marianne WilliamsonThe way to have the life we want is to receive more deeply the life we have. Sometimes we keep our own life at arm's length, thinking we'll wait until circumstances improve before giving it all we've got. But life is just a reflection of consciousness, so it's never going to give any more to us than we give to it. Don't wait for a perfect life; breathe in the life that's already perfect.
