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 wil...l 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.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on "the intentions of the Creator." But their... platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I find it so difficult to dispose of the few facts which to me are significant, that I hesitate to burden my attention with those ...which are insignificant, which only a divine mind could illustrate. Such is, for the most part, the news in newspapers and conversation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When individuals and nations have once got in their heads the abstract concept of full- blown liberty, there is nothing like it in... its uncontrollable strength, just because it is the very essence of mind, and that as its very actuality. Whole continents, Africa and the East, have never had this Idea, and are without it still. The Greeks and Romans, Plato and Aristotle, even the Stoics, did not have it. On the contrary, they saw that it is only by birth or by strength of character, education, or philosophy that the human being is actually free. It was through Christianity that this Idea came into the world. According to Christianity, the individual as such has an infinite value as the object and aim of divine love, destined as mind to live in absolute relationship with God himself, and have God's mind dwelling in him: i.e. man is implicitly destined to supreme freedom.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to in...spire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
