Vernon Howard Quotes

No one on earth can hurt you, unless you accept the hurt in your own mind... The problem is not other people; it is your reaction Picture Quote #1

Don’t try to be spiritual. That is only a word in the dictionary. Make it your goal to become a normally functioning individual. Let these principles shape you according to your real nature of a simple, decent, honest, unafraid human being Picture Quote #1

It is utterly useless to try to change the outer world, for it is but a reflection of inner causes. The true seeker seeks to change himself Picture Quote #1

Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward Picture Quote #1

If you call one thing good, you must call its opposite bad. If you think it wonderful to make a big profit in your business, you will also think it terrible if you incur a large loss. The idea is to live above the opposites Picture Quote #1

Aloneness is a wise teacher. Kierkegaard remarked that one sign of spiritual maturity was the ability to be comfortable when alone Picture Quote #1

Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them Picture Quote #1

It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it Picture Quote #1

Find yourself for courage and confidence are as easy as breathing to the person who really knows who he is Picture Quote #1

One false idea is that anyone can hurt you. Events can ruin your reputation, take your money, mistreat you, revenge itself upon you, deceive, betray, abandon you, but cannot hurt you Picture Quote #1

Don’t look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature Picture Quote #1

When told that man lives in delusion everyone thinks of himself as the exception; hence his delusion Picture Quote #1

Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation; it requires simple acceptance and nothing else Picture Quote #1

Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person Picture Quote #1

An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves Picture Quote #1

Cruelty practiced as a matter of social principle or public policy, and presented to the community as a means to a higher goal is the most obscene and decadent phenomenon of any civilization Picture Quote #1

You cannot stop destructive actions by others, but you can stop your own destructive reactions to them Picture Quote #1

Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can’t have both Picture Quote #1

Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so Picture Quote #1

You need only choose... then keep choosing as many times as necessary. That is all you need do. And it is certainly something you can do. Then as you continue to choose, everything is yours Picture Quote #1

Self awakening enables you to see the human scene as it is, not as it appears to be, which frees you of its chaos Picture Quote #1

If heaven existed as a physical building on earth, human beings would remodel it to make it right Picture Quote #1

We find the light only after total defeat of our attempts to deceive and outwit it Picture Quote #1

Realize that the surface personality has no interest in anything which might disturb its darling delusions Picture Quote #1

Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can. If you are studying, reflecting and trying, you are making progress whether you are aware of it or not. A traveler walking the road in the darkness of night is still going forward. Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud Picture Quote #1

It is a mistake for anyone to think he has lived too long in his old, unsatisfactory ways to make the great change. If you switch on the light in a dark room, it makes no difference how long it was dark because the light will still shine. Be teachable. That is the whole secret Picture Quote #1

No one can tell you what is right for you except yourself. So start telling yourself what to do. If you blunder for ten years while thinking for yourself, that is rich treasure when compared with living these ten years under the mental domination of another Picture Quote #1

Have the daring to stop doing the things you really don’t want to do. Can you see them? Look closely. Can you observe the many things you do because you reluctantly feel you should or must? Watch closely. Examine every action and reaction. Do you act naturally or do you act because you feel compelled? If you feel compelled, stop. Compulsion is slavery. Example: Refuse to go along with the crowd Picture Quote #1

Everyone must concede that there is in existence something wiser than himself. Now there is a challenge, there is a challenge which few even investigate. We’re going to do that now. Let’s see what we’re talking about. All troubled people, which is all people, must if they are going to be delivered from themselves, must make the concession that there is a force, an entity, a power that is higher than their own present nature Picture Quote #1

Be very careful that you do not unconsciously assume that nervous tension is power. This is vital. Watch yourself the next time you work toward some goal. Look very closely to discover tense feelings and nervous thoughts whirling around inside. Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out Picture Quote #1
