Henry Miller Quotes

The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger.

I have to not take myself too seriously and I have to realise that if it is meant to be, it will be.

Everything that's happening to you, is what's suppose to be happening to you. So just relax.

What fates impose, that men must needs abide; it boots not to resist both wind and tide.

It takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better. Letting go doesn't mean ignoring a situation. Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control.

It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.

But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how much, how often, or how closely you keep an eye on things because you can't control it. Sometimes things and people just go. Just like that.

A big part of me just lets everything go.

I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.

I really feel like life will dictate itself. You should allow it to unfold as naturally as possible. Just go with the flow. When you're really desperate, you say a few prayers and hope for the best. That's the way I've always lived my life.

Once you accept, truly accept, that stuff will happen to you and there is nothing you can do about it, stress miraculously leaves your life.

As life has a way of unfolding as it is meant to, I have learned to trust life.

With situations that you have no power over, there is no point in worrying about one thing or another. Why think about things that you can't control?

There are things we control - but things that are not in control, no point wasting time and energy into that.

When the universe throws something your way, or things happen, I'm one of those people that goes with it, and I don't fight it.

At some point, you just learn to surrender to your path.

I learned when I was a kid not to worry so much about things because it's all going to work out. What will be will be.

Be patient - if something is supposed to happen, it's going to happen. Whenever I've tried to force things, they didn't go right.

My life lesson is just to be patient and everything will fall in place. Most of what's happened in my life is not to do with me but good people and the way things happened. So I feel it's no use stressing over anything. Let things simply happen.

I accept the cards that were dealt to me.

If we never arrived anywhere, it did not matter. Between that earth and that sky i felt erased, blotted out. I did not say my prayers that night: here, i felt what would be would be.

Resist as much as thou wilt; heaven's ways are heaven's ways.

We remain unnecessarily worried. All worries are futile because that which is going to happen is going to happen.

Fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step.
