“Every stressful thought is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn’t be happening. I shouldn’t be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn’t fair.”

We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.

We are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

If our thinking is clear, how could work or money be the problem? Our thinking is all we need to change.

Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.

There are no physical problems-only mental ones.

Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.

When we believe in our thoughts, when we tell ourselves a story, we suffer. ‘My husband doesn’t respect me.’ ‘I should be thinner.’ Those are stories. When there’s no story, there’s no suffering.

The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.

Peace doesn’t require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they’re not true.

Thoughts are just what is. They appear. They’re innocent. They’re not personal.

I love what I think, and I’m never tempted to believe it.

We’re all looking for love, in our confusion, until we find our way back to the realization that love is what we already are.

When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.

Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there’s nothing to know.

If God thinks proportionality is fair who are we to say that it is unfair?

Brick and mortar businesses – and the communities that depend on them – cannot continue to bear an unfair sales tax burden from which their on-line competitors are effectively exempt.

Hank had left me his doomed army, and hed left marcie his inheritance. Unfair didnt begin to cover it.

Frank stared at him. “Unfair? You can breathe underwater and blow up glaciers and summon freaking hurricanes-and it’s unfair that I can be an elephant?” Percy considered. “Okay. I guess you got a point. But the next time I say you’re totally beast-” “Just shut up,” Frank said. “Please.” Percy cracked a smile.

preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.

It [is] very unfair to influence a child’s mind by inculcating any opinions before it [has] come to years of discretion to choose for itself.

My final comment is that I still believe this man [John D. Rockefeller] is corrupt and he used unfair ways to become wealthy, all he cared about was his money and wasn’t considered.

I decided to write the book to open the eyes of the people of how corrupt John D. Rockefeller company was and the unfair ways he used to be successful.
