Gary Zukav Quotes

Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses; it all depends on you.

Every day, with every word, we get to decide: Do we mar the world, or mark the world?

This life is not something that is imposed upon us; we receive it and work with it.

Man needs to choose, not just accept, his destiny.

Love has no resistance. Whatever we do is because we want to do it.

Freedom is a ladder: one side of the ladder reaches hell, the other side touches heaven. It is the same ladder; the choice is yours.

We are not powerless. We have tremendous potential for good or ill. How we choose to use that power is up to us; but first we must choose to use it. We're told every day, You can't change the world. But the world is changing every day. Only question is who's doing it? You or somebody else?

You have the RIGHT to change your mind

Try not to change the world. You will fail. Try to love the world. Lo, the world is changed. Changed forever.

The last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

No man is without some quality, by the due application of which he might deserve well of the world; and whoever he be that has but little in his power should be in haste to do that little, lest he be confounded with him that can do nothing.

Everything you are comes from your choices.

Life is always trying to love us, but we need to be open if we are to see it. Fear shows us one world; and love shows us another world. We decide which world is real. And we decide which world we want to live in.

When people say they are looking for happiness, I ask, What are you giving to the world?

Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom. If you are alive, the opportunity is there - even to the last breath. You may have missed your whole life: just the last breath, the last moment on the earth, if you can be love, you have not missed anything - because a single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.

You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist.

There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love, or live in fear. No other path, no other way, no day but today.

I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.

Life is an opportunity to contribute love in your own way.

To live is to choose.

We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.

Since periods of great change, such as the present one, come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.

My choice is what I choose to do and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be and if you're causin' no harm, then your alright with me.
