Quotes from Marianne Williamson

How can I best serve the world?" take precedence over "What can I get out of this?" Within that realm, we naturally do get a job, we naturally do create money, and we naturally do produce an outer prosperity that reflects the prosperity in our hearts.

What that means is this: Love is real. It's an eternal creation and nothing can destroy it. Anything that isn't love is an illusion. Remember this, and you'll be at peace.

No matter what is happening in our lives, we choose how we wish to think about it. And the greatest gift we give ourselves is often our willingness to change our minds. Despite what might seem to be the saddest and most intractable situation, we have the power to believe that something else is possible, that things can change, that a miracle can happen. This gives us vision, which gives us conviction, which gives us power.

Love interrupts the past and opens the future to new probabilities. No matter who you are, no matter how young or old you are, in the present, all things are possible.

I free the universe from my efforts to control it.

How different my life will be if I let go, allowing the universe to do its dance without my constant interference. Today I release the thought that I know what is best—for myself, for the world, or for anyone in it. I relax into the patterns of a divinely orchestrated universe, asking only to be guided where I can best fit in and be used in service to love's will.

It's a woman's prerogative to know of magic, and to practice magic, and to use her knowledge to help the world.

I can see through the eyes of the world, or I can see through the eyes of love. One produces darkness, while the other produces light. Today I make a choice for life and love.

What is going on in America today is not just a political contest; it is a spiritual contest.

A new kind of American—a new kind of thinker and a new kind of citizen—needs to arise now. And quickly. We the People, We the Problem For too many decades, Americans have been chronically distracted by less important things, not bothering to engage in serious self-examination.

We have been brought up in a world that does not put love first, and where love is absent, fear sets in. Fear is to love as darkness is to light.

Anger is like the white sugar of activist energy; it gives adrenaline in the short term but is debilitating in the long term. Love is the nutrition of the gods.
