Image
Everyone makes a greater effort to hurt other people than to help himself.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Prayer is a cry of distress, a demand for help, a hymn of love.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Discipline brings us effort, sacrifice and suffering. Later it brings us something of an inestimable value: something of which those who live only for pleasure, profit or amusement will always be deprived. This peculiar indefinable joy which one must have felt oneself to understand is the sign with which life marks its moment of triumph.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Men grow when inspired by a high purpose, when contemplating vast horizons. The sacrifice of oneself is not very difficult for one burning with the passion for a great adventure.

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.

Image
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.

In man, the things which are not measurable are more important than those which are measurable.
Alexis Carrel

The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum.
Alexis Carrel
Image
Enormous amounts of money are spent for publicity. As a result, large quantities of alimentary and pharmaceutical products, at the least useless, and often harmful, have become a necessity for civilized men.
Alexis Carrel

When we pray we link ourselves with an inexhaustible motive power.

Those who do not know how to fight worry die young.

Patients have been cured almost instantaneously of...lupus...,cancer ...,ulcers..., tuberculosis ...In a few seconds, at most a few hours, the symptoms disappear and the anatomic lesions mend. The miracle is characterized by extreme acceleration of the normal process of healing.

If the doctor of today does not become the dietician of tomorrow, the dietician of today will become the doctor of tomorrow.

Life leaps like a geyser for those willing to drill through the rock of inertia.

Prayer is the most powerful form of energy one can generate....It supplies us with a flow of sustaining power in our daily lives.

Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.

All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.
