Famous quotes containing the word spiritual:
“In the morning I awake, and find the old world, wife, babes, and mother, Concord and Boston, the dear old spiritual world, and even the dear old devil not far off. If we shall take the good we find, asking no questions, we shall have heaping measures.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
