Quotes from Marianne Williamson

That is why a new American revolution is a revolution of consciousness, and a new American politics is a politics of love.

May my mind not wander into dark terrain today, but may I remain within the field of light. May I not be tempted to attack my brother, or attack myself. May I cleave instead to love.

Instead of, "Dear God, please let us fall in love, or please give me this job," we say, "Dear God, my desire, my priority is inner peace. I want the experience of love. I don't know what would bring that to me. I leave the results of this situation in your hands. I trust your will. May your will be done. Amen.

Just like a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun, and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean, we can't separate ourselves from one another.

Naming it, surrendering it to God, and asking Him to remove it—that's the miracle of personal transformation

The only thing lacking in any situation is our own awareness of love.

Take stock of your thoughts and behavior. Each night ask yourself, when were you negative when you could have been positive? When did you withhold love when you might have given it? When did you play a neurotic game instead of behaving in a powerful way? Use this process to self-correct.

We are poor because we do not work with love.

Give all your gifts away in service to the world.  If you want to paint, don't wait for a grant, paint a wall in your town that looks drab and uninviting.  You never know who is going to see that wall. Whatever it is you want to do, give it away in service to your community.

What I think about anyone else I'm thinking about myself.

Until we have forgiven someone's darkness, we don't really know what love is.

Whatever I give to others, I am giving to myself.
