At the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit. And that center is really everywhere. It is within each of us.
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.
Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.
True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The single most important contribution that I can offer, the strengthening of people's spirit and soul, the strengthening of families, the unity of a husband and a wife. To me, that's most important. Without that, we have nothing. If a son doesn't respect a father, if a child doesn't respect a parent, then we're lost.
The essential difference in service is not machines or 'things.' The essential difference is minds, hearts, spirits, and souls.
What one thinks continually, they become; what one cherishes in their heart and mind they make a part of the pulsation of their heart, through their own blood cells, and build in their own physical, that which its spirit and soul must feed upon, and that with which it will be possessed, when it passes into the realm for which the other experiences of what it has gained here in the physical plane, must be used.
A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. They sound a bit soulless - fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul.

Like night dreams, stores often use symbolic language, therefore bypassing the ego and persona, and traveling straight to the spirit and soul who listen for the ancient and universal instructions imbedded there.

Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul.
The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire. Imagine a world filled with individuals willing both to apologize and to accept an apology. Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed?
I paint the spirit and soul of what I see.
Spirit and soul is horseshit of the worst sort. Obviously there are no fairies, no Santa Clauses, no spirits. What there is, is human goals and purposes as noted by sane existentialists. But a lot of transcendentalists are utter screwballs.
I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity.

Women have innate talents and exceptional abilities that go unnoticed by our society, and that women themselves often do not fully appreciate.
