Spiritual

Famous quotes containing the word spiritual:

“Doubtless, we are as slow to conceive of Paradise as of Heaven, of a perfect natural as of a perfect spiritual world. We see how past ages have loitered and erred. “Is perhaps our generation free from irrationality and error? Have we perhaps reached now the summit of human wisdom, and need no more to look out for mental or physical improvement?” Undoubtedly, we are never so visionary as to be prepared for what the next hour may bring forth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There is spiritual laughter
Too hushed to be gay, too high: the happiness
Of angels.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“All things are moral; and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
