“The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors - that which it loves, and also that which it fears.”
“Cultivate plants which attract lovely company.”
“Fear is the polio of the soul which prevents our walking by faith.”
“To surround anything, however monstrous or ridiculous, with an air of mystery, is to invest it with a secret charm, and power of attraction which to the crowd is irresistible.”
“Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
“Some religions draw by force of arms; He would draw by force of love. The attraction would not be His words, but Himself. It was His Person around which His teaching centered; not His teaching around which He would be remembered. 'Greater love than this no man hath' - that was the secret of His magnetism.”
