Vernon Howard Quotes

What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.
You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
A certain number of people seek power over other people in a desperate attempt to find themselves. They fail, for self-discovery is spiritual in nature, not social or political. Authoritatively telling other people what to do is their distraction from an inner emptiness they can never fill.
Do not resist a new idea. Be quietly receptive. Go along with it, even unwillingly at first. Sooner or later, it will reveal itself as your ally.
Evil is an attack against human spiritual development and enlightenment. All evil, badness, neurosis - it has one motive and one motive only, which is to destroy - to destroy your chance of arising above yourself.
Evil wants you to think that its power is absolute, endless. It wants to so make you quake and quiver that all you'll do is fall down and worship it.
For every problem or confusion and for every desire or ambition there is an available force waiting for your call.
Humanity appreciates truth about as much as a squirrel appreciates silver.
In order to reach home, where you have the guidance of cosmic insight, you must first depart from your present location. You cannot remain in the noisy city of your own vanities and expect to know what to do. Cosmic knowledge and personal vanity do not mingle.
It is not the strong who are dangerous to the world and to themselves. It is the weak and the inadequate who threaten - and sometimes destroy - mankind's peace and prosperity.
Learn to see a problem from a higher level of understanding. Then, it dissolves before your eyes.
Make it absolutely clear to yourself what you want from other people. That is really half the secret for drawing your desire to you in the shortest possible time and with the least amount of effort.
Make it your profitable habit to carefully study facial expressions. You can see the entire human drama in a face; you can tell its owner's history.
Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for that is how you reach the light on the other side.
People appreciate and follow the person who can persuade them properly. Make that person you.
Personal power gives you a sense of accomplishment. It enables you to live fully and zestfully. It provides you with a mature reason for liking yourself better. To state it another way, it is the mark of a healthy and well-adjusted individual to seek self-advancement by mastering his human relations.
Problems are cured by facing their cause.
Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.
Remember that cosmic fact and mental myth cannot occupy the same place at the same time, any more than two hands can occupy the same glove. So choose what is truly right for you.
Some folks hesitate to seize additional strength because they think it wrong or dangerous to be a powerful individual.

They are weaknesses disguised as power.
