“Prayer is the force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.”
“El tiempo físico nos es extraño,mientras el tiempo interior es nosotros mismos.”
“ان الأساليب التي تستخدمها الأعضاء في بناء نفسها غريبة على العقل البشري. أكوام من المادة تنبثق من خلية واحدة مفردة، كأن بيتاً بأكمله يبنى من طوبه سحرية، طوبة تقوم تلقائيا بتوليد وحدات أخرى من الطوب و تنمو الأعضاء بطريقة تذكرنا بما تفعله الجنّيات في قصص الأطفال. أن عقولنا تتوه تماما في العالم الداخلي للأعضاء”
“Happiness depends on one being exactly fitted to the nature of one's work.”
“Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor”
“The praying which makes a prayerful ministry is not a little praying put in as we put flavor to give it a pleasant smack, but the praying must be in the body, and form the blood and bones. Prayer is no petty duty, put into a corner; no piecemeal performance made out of the fragments of time which have been snatched from business and other engagements of life; but it means that the best of our time, the heart of our time and strength must be given.”
“Men lose their birthrights for a mess of pottage only if they stop using the gifts given them by God for their betterment. By prayer. That is the first and greatest gift. Use the gift of prayer. Ask for strength of mind, and a clear vision. Then sense. Use your sense. … Think long and well. By prayer and good thought you will conquer all enemies.”
