But one who has a human soul cannot take shelter in anything other than constructions that he builds with his own spiritual toil.

    Spiritual   Heart   Light  
  • In the face of brutality I was prudent. Before injustice I held my peace. I sacrificed the things in hand for the good of the hypothetical whole. I believed in the tongue instead of the fist.

    Selfish   Brave   Soul

    Sorry   Thinking   Soul  
    George Berkeley, Arthur James Balfour Balfour (Earl of) (1897). “The works of George Berkeley, D.D., bishop of Cloyne”
  • To crush out fanaticism and revere the infinite, such is the law. Let us not confine ourselves to falling prostrate beneath the tree of creation and contemplating its vast ramifications full of stars. We have a duty to perform, to cultivate the human soul, to defend mystery against miracle, to adore the incomprehensible and to reject the absurd; to admit nothing that is inexplicable excepting what is necessary, to purify faith and obliterate superstition from the face of religion, to remove the vermin from the garden of God.

  • When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible.

    Life   Heart   Love Is
