You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There’s not one part that He doesn’t want to make completely whole.

Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.

There’s nothing better than having a baby. I’ve always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I’d be overwhelmed, and it’s true… I can’t tell you how much my attitude has changed since we’ve got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.

When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you’d been the only man in the world.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.

Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.

In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

The ‚soul‘ is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

Maybe stories are just data with a soul.

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

My literature is much more the result of a paradox than that of an implacable logic, typical of police novels. The paradox is the tension that exists in my soul.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

I’m not ashamed to say I fear something.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

What medicines do not heal, the lance will; what the lance does not heal, fire will.

The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.

To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!

Everything for me is sacred, beginning with earth, but also going to things made by man.

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.

Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything.

I think that you can love people without it being the great love.

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.

I cry so much less than I used to. I used to be one of the most teary people.

Motives reveal why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re doing.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can’t have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I’d rather not be in a cage. I’d rather be dead. And it’s real simple. And I think it’s not that uncommon.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head.

Hatred is settled anger.

Do you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real – it happened when he was in Hell.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

Waste brings woe, and sorrow hates despair.

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

God wants to bless us where we are.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.

I need scarcely observe that a poem deserves its title only inasmuch as it excites, by elevating the soul. The value of the poem is in the ratio of this elevating excitement.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills; if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills; Nor can it choose its rider… the riders contend for its possession.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.

There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.

What I want for my fans and for the world, for anyone who feels pain, is to lean into that pain and embrace it as much as they can and begin the healing process.

To attain any assured knowledge about the soul is one of the most difficult things in the world.
