Prayer is the force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.

When we pray we link ourselves with an inexhaustible motive power.
Alexis Carrel
Image
As to virtue . . . it is an act of the will, a habit which increases the quantity, intensity and quality of life. It builds up, strengthens and vivifies personality.
Alexis Carrel

Logic never attracts men to the point of carrying them away.
Alexis Carrel
Image
In joy or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity or the reverse, the effort must still continue. One must rise after every fall and gradually acquire courage, faith, the will to succeed and the capacity to love.
Alexis Carrel
Image
The search for God is indeed, an entirely personal undertaking.... the most audacious adventure that one can dare.

Scientific civilisation has destroyed the soul of the world.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Science has to be understood in its broadest sense, as a method for apprehending all observable reality, and not merely as an instrument for acquiring specialized knowledge.
Alexis Carrel
Image
One must train oneself, by small and frequent efforts, to dominate one's feelings.

More than half of all great remedies known to medical history have come from empiricists...'irregulars'...of no or little scientific training. There is no reason to believe that conditions have essentially changed.
