Famous quotes containing the words spiritual and/or exercises:
“Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus’ example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man’s spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
“He exercises of his brains,
That is, assuming that he’s got any.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
