Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or exercises:

    “His spiritual life has been exaggerated by a chronic attack of mental gallstones.”
    —Oliver St. John Gogarty (1878–1957)

    “Almost every man we meet requires some civility,—requires to be humored; he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
