When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.

Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.

Love inspires, illummines, designates and leads the way.

Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal.

The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible. Exceptions only confirm this rule, proving that failure is occasioned by a too feeble faith.

Jealousy is the grave of affection

I will love, if another hates. I will gain a balance on the side of good, my true being. This alone gives me the forces of God wherewith to overcome all error.

A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.

Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.

All successful individuals have become such by hard work; by improving moments before they pass into hours, and hours that other people may occupy in the pursuit of pleasure.

Your birthday is a special day, May it bring you love and cheer It gives a chance for me to say, Happy birthday every year

Divine love always has met and always will meet every human need.

Disease is an experience of mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body. Divine Science takes away this physical sense of discord, just as it removes a sense of moral or mental in-harmony.

To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.

Christian Science explains all cause and effect as mental, not physical.

Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind; nor can the material senses bear reliable testimony on the subject of health.

The lives of great men and women are miracles of patience and perseverance.

No power can withstand divine Love.

Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionately to their occupancy of your thoughts.

We should examine ourselves and learn what is the affection and purpose of the heart, for in this way only can we learn what we honestly are.

The time for thinkers has come.

To live and let live, without clamor for distinction or recognition; to wait on divine love; to write truth first on the tablet of one's own heart - this is the sanity and perfection of living, and my human ideal.

What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds.

Drugs, cataplasms, and whiskey are stupid substitutes for the dignity and potency of divine mind and its efficacy to heal.

Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind.

Reject hatred without hating.

Under affliction in the very depths, stop and contemplate what you have to be grateful for.

If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

The sharp experiences of belief in the supposititious life of matter, as well as our disappointments and ceaseless woes, turn us like tired children to the arms of divine Love.

Great mischief comes from attempts to steady other people's altars ...

Spiritual teaching must always be by symbols.

Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it.

Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love.

Lulled by stupefying illusions, the world is asleep in the cradle of infancy, dreaming away the hours.

Experience teaches us that we do not always receive the blessings we ask for in prayer.

Matter and death are mortal illusions.

Truth is immortal; error is mortal.

Sickness is a belief, which must be annihilated by the divine Mind.

Two points of danger beset mankind; namely, making sin seem either too large or too little ...

Every luminary in the constellation of human greatness, like the stars, comes out in the darkness to shine with the reflected light of God.

To prevent disease or to cure it, the power of Truth, of divine Spirit, must break down the dream of the material senses.

God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect.

In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest.

The mariner will have dominion over the atmosphere and the great deep, over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air.

God is Mind, and God is infinite; hence all is Mind.

Home is the dearest spot on earth, and it should be the centre, though not the boundary, of the affections.

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.

To infinite, ever present Love, all is Love, and there is no error, no sin sickness, nor death.

When the heart speaks, however simple the words, its language is always acceptable to those who have hearts.

This is the doctrine of Christian Science: that divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation, or object; that joy cannot be turned into sorrow, for sorrow is not the master of joy; that good can never produce evil; that matter can never produce mind nor life result in death. The perfect man - governed by God, his perfect Principle - is sinless and eternal.
