All BYRON KATIE Quotes about “War”

“As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.”

“If someone says, "Katie, you are out of order," over something I've said, or, "Katie, you are wrong," if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.”
“Defense is the first act of war.”
“I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.”
“The mind at war with itself does war with any other mind, and that produces war in the world - all of it.”
“When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.”
“War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.”
“The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.”
“The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?”
“And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.”
“They say, "Katie, you're wrong." And if I say, "How dare you say that? I have studied and studied." Or, "I am an expert in" whatever area we're talking about. Or, "No, you are wrong! And I think you're rude!" Or anything like that, and if we don't say it out loud, maybe we think it, but that's stressful. The moment I've defended, in any way, I've started the war.”
“The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.”
