Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.

A quote from her book A Return to Love, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequat
Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And NEVER do it for the money, Go to work to spread joy.
In the absence of love, we began slowly but surely to fall apart.
May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home.
We're hallucinating. And that's what this world is: a mass hallucination, where fear seems more real than love. Fear is an illusion. Our craziness, paranoia, anxiety and trauma are literally all imagined.
...available people are the ones who are dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy
You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.
It takes courage to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.
Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your…
You playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won’t feel uncomfortable around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.
Change begins when we consider the possibility that there might be another way.
For a long time haters spoke and too many of us just rolled our eyes. Now, when hate speaks, it's very important that fierce love speak back.
Whenever you want something to happen, close your eyes and take a moment to inwardly inhabit the space of the you who would experience that.
When it comes to politics, if none of us ever referred to the words Left or Right again it wouldn't be a terrible thing.
This country is suffering through a time of spiritual and moral decay. That is the level of the problem and it is the level of the solution.
No individual or country will long thrive if they make money more important than people.
We can't just fight sickness; we have to cultivate health. And we can't just fight wars; we have to cultivate peace.
Our highest point of consciousness, as well as greatest empowerment, lies in praying that our lives be used for purposes higher than our own.
