Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or exercises:

    “Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
