Mary Baker Eddy

Date of Birth:

16-Jun-1821

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

Religious professional

Unanimously proclaimed as the ‘mother of Christian Science’, Mary Baker Eddy was the prime mover of the Christian religion movement in the latter half of the 19th century in the Unites States. Her work ‘Science and Health’ redefined the relationship between spiritualism and healing methods. Through her theological study in this book, she tried to ascertain the fact that ailment is mere state of belief which must be annihilated by the understanding of the divine mind. Few passages from her book found its place in Sunday morning prayer along with the Bible. Science and Health has been inducted into the list of "75 Books By Women Whose Words Have Changed The World" by the Women's National Book Association. Having said that, her work received severe backlash due to the ideas she propagated. Even Mark Twain in his publication of Christian Science satirically criticized the ideologies of Mary Baker Eddy. In spite of the criticism, she developed a large following due to her thoughts and sayings which emphasized on affection, spirituality and self-righteousness. Here is a collection of some notable quotes by Mary Baker Eddy.

QUOTES BY Mary Eddy

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.

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
