Quote Left The animals of the planet are in desperate peril... Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen. Quote Right
Quote Left The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him. Quote Right
Quote Left We have progressively improved into a less spiritual species of tenderness -- but the seal is not yet fixed though the wax is preparing for the impression. Quote Right
Quote Left The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination. Quote Right
Quote Left As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand. Quote Right
Quote Left The glory of friendship is not the outstreched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him. Quote Right
Quote Left Global thinking and local action both require understanding of ecological systems, but ecological management can be effective only if it takes into consideration the visceral and spiritual values that link us to the earth. Therefore ecological thinking must be supplemented by humanistic value judgments concerning the effect of our choices and actions on the quality of the relationship between humankind and earth, in the future as well as in the present. Quote Right
Quote Left It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate. Quote Right
Quote Left Would you who judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, take this rule; whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short; whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you; however innocent it may be in itself. Quote Right
Quote Left Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen, both when we sleep and when we awake. Quote Right
Quote Left The German is like the slave who, without chains, obeys his masters merest word, his very glance. The condition of servitude is inherent in him, in his very soul and worse than the physical is the spiritual slavery. The Germans must be set free from wit Quote Right
Quote Left The sense of an entailed disadvantage -- the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centered, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender. Quote Right
Quote Left It is in the ordinary duties and labors of life that the Christian can and should develop his spiritual union with God. Quote Right
Quote Left My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead. Quote Right
Quote Left It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money. Quote Right
Quote Left Greatness is a spiritual condition. Quote Right
Quote Left The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friend. Quote Right
Quote Left Appreciation of life itself, becoming suddenly aware of the miracle of being alive, on this planet, can turn what we call ordinary life into a miracle. We come awake to such a realization when we recognize our connection to a spiritual dimension. Quote Right
Quote Left Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. Quote Right
Quote Left The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. Quote Right
Quote Left We are living in a day of self-seeking and irresponsibility, even in Christian circles. Few indeed are the Christian believers who have truly laid their all on the altar for Christ. Few are the spiritual leaders who truly put God FIRST . Rather they think first, albeit subconsciously, of their positions, popularity, salaries and the success of the organizations over which they preside. While professing strong allegiance to God and His Word, they are nevertheless careful not to emphasize those passages from the Word which might ruffle feathers or rock the boat, as we say. In spite of their professed fidelity to God's Word and will, their first objective is actually to keep their organizations running smoothly and pleasantly so that they may continue to grow in numbers. This has become a way of life in Christendom, but in this matter too we should 'search the Scriptures daily,' to determine whether these things have God's approval, for however good and right a thing may seem, if it is at variance with the Word, rightly divided, it is contrary to the will of God and therefore wrong. Quote Right
Quote Left Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life Quote Right
Quote Left By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation, whether in the vulgarity of speech or of gesture or in a memorable phase of the mind... Quote Right
Quote Left No man has ever risen to the real stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself. Quote Right
Quote Left A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over lousy fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to Complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage. Quote Right
Quote Left It's not only a spiritual narrowing but a cultural narrowing of Southern Baptist boundaries. I love Southern Baptists, I was reared and operate in the church, but I regret this. Quote Right
Quote Left A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan. Quote Right
Quote Left Prayer Changes Things Quote Right
Quote Left A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses. Quote Right
Quote Left Spiritual superiority only sees the individual. But alas, ordinarily we human beings are sensual and, therefore, as soon as it is a gathering, the impression changes -- we see something abstract, the crowd, and we become different. But in the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd, He only sees each individual. Quote Right

Quote Left Love, our spiritual 6th sense, icing on the other 5. Quote Right
Quote Left To open oneself up completely, with our fears, our weaknesses, our strengths, our love, is the risk we take in human form. We trust that familiarity will not lead to contempt, but that our subconscious will strengthen this thing we call love. As long as the ego is kept out of the equation by the will of our spiritual nature. Quote Right
Quote Left I'm not a contest person. Don't want to make my life a competition -- wanting suggestions to come from myself, wanting little as possible for my works to be the prompted themes of others -- not a feed the hungry person, preferring to fish with my brothers and sisters. I believe each God given life is a miracle divine, a bottomless spiritual well of personal creativity, to be drawn from and explored to the fullest unhindered by writing laziness -- Quote Right
Quote Left "There is no such lesson to learn spirituality, it's in you how sex is." Under18 age:note Jagdish Bajantri Quote Right
Quote Left Whenever we approach oneness with God, in the moment of prayer, or while creating a work of art, there is a natural sense of omnipotence. Also, the spirit of what we create lives on in that creation long after one's corporal body ceases to exist. We are yet attached to that creation in a very profound spiritual way. In the same way our love persists in those (example: children) we have partnered with the Divine to birth. Quote Right
Quote Left Love! No more powerful a word when sincerely spoken, crosses and cooperatively links in brother and sisterhood all imagined divides of spiritual faith. Quote Right
Quote Left We are billions of spiritual atoms of clay compressed, myself doubting that God made me that quickly, haphazardly as biblically misinterpreted. Maybe just my daily garment off the rack. Quote Right
Quote Left Indeed, great art is spiritually stimulating. Often great art, great poetry has little to do with intelligence...and more to do with bravery, honesty -- anyone, with practice can be intelligent -- bravery requires faith not found in books. Quote Right
Quote Left How much of seeming one is truly individual? Programed in a sense by physical/mental maybe spiritual constituents. Is there really an individual? And yet no two are the same conglomerate. No matter how many in the mix. The many/individual. And when we consider the all, maybe back to the God -- nothing existing outside of the limitless inside/outside of God. DNA, are there really any exclusions or limitations? We transverse living membranes of self-illusion. Quote Right
Quote Left With me poetry is about subduing one's conditioned mental reflexes, and allowing purer inert forces to take control of the stylus. In short, poetry should be about transcending the physical into realms of the metaphysical. The heart of great writing is spiritual and not commercial. One must take the "I" out of a work as much as creatively possible. Quote Right
Quote Left The white beauty, peace and stillness of snow became a spiritual awakening to rest my soul. Quote Right
Quote Left Poetry is really only saying things with deeper, more aware commitment. Treatment of words in such a way that gives the reader desire and space for personal mental, spiritual interaction. In short, poetry is more thoughtful. To be poetic involves heartfelt communion on a creative level that does not exist even with dear, profound prose. Great prose often exhibit strong poetic language. Quote Right
Quote Left How old is the earth? Just take the past 5,000 years, how far technically man has come...follish to think we are the first great (so called civilization) -- when the bible talks of creation, timelines, much is spiritual truth, applying to many generations even civilizations. Yes, man will fall again, and again, and again. Till we get right with God. Not a one of us, has ever left this world for long. We are dead...and death will repeat over and over. Few know it. Part of the problem. Quote Right
Quote Left "My soul is the peaceful spiritual gem inside me, needing peace from time to time from this crazy world." Quote Right
Quote Left Thinking...creativity, requires a soul. Spiritual substance, an extended self to draw from. Quote Right
Quote Left Not all true spiritual teachings may ever be exactly the same but they're revealed from One Source known by a different name. (Simple Observation 408 - © 2025 George Krokos) Quote Right
Quote Left This is the difference : the need for religion is primarily the need for Belonging. The need for spirituality is primarily the need for Balance. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left Nothing physical remains with time. Only the good we publish spiritually are recorded in the annals of eternity. Quote Right
Quote Left AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity. Quote Right
Quote Left God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands. Quote Right
Quote Left Beauty is an expression. A spiritual statement. Not something that can be put into words Quote Right
Quote Left The Absolute Truth is that the I is perfect and complete. The real I is spiritual & therefore can never be less than perfect. The real I can never have any lack, limitations or disease. These phenomenon are held by the ego, the linear self. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left Entropic enigma is analogous to Schrodinger's cat in the box. In this paradigm of thinking, either element hosts an infinite variation of thought, emotional intelligence, and spiritual truth. To surpass these phenomena, one must encompass all these phenomena and gain diverse knowledge. Then, one will experience all of it, knowing that Love is the ultimate power and truth. Here, the box paradox will be realized. Quote Right
Quote Left The one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences. Quote Right
Quote Left Spirit alone can lift us. Let us pray, if not spiritual heroes, we have lived, at least, as honest spirits. And hopefully, that will have been enough. Quote Right
Quote Left Curiosity, pleasure, and pride, precursors of spiritual rebellion. Quote Right
Quote Left Why is the following analogy of wisdom important? Some will think inside the box. Some will think outside the box. Others will think inside the box, outside the box and as the box. Clearly, there is no box. WHY? You cannot contain knowledge in any vessel. If you do, it will stagnate and become useless. All the knowledge we know now can fit on a table. Outside this table is unknown knowledge of various forms, spiritual, emotional, mental, and so on. This knowledge is infinite. Quote Right
Quote Left Some who have suffered greatly in their lives, in retrospect, after spiritual evaluation, thank God for that opportunity to suffer. Sounds crazy I know. But true for some. Quote Right
Quote Left " The Birth of Jesus from the Virgin is equivalent to the stage Srotapatti or Sohan ( He who has entered the stream ). This Initiation is the entrance of the Christ Soul into the Physical life intent upon living it Spiritually by Consecrating it to Noble and Worthy Ideals" Quote Right
Quote Left Yep, dangle shinning objects to get attention...to hypnotize into followers. Human dog whistles are, the promise of wealth, power, with no spiritual consequences. Quote Right
