More quotes by Alexis Carrel
The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum.
Alexis Carrel
Prayer, like radium, is a luminous and self-generating form of energy.
Alexis Carrel
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
The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationship.
Alexis Carrel
The cell is immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats that degenerates. Renew this fluid at regular intervals, give the cells what they require for nutrition, and as far as we know, the pulsation of life can go on forever.
Alexis Carrel
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.

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.
Alexis Carrel
Like hatred, jealousy is forbidden by the laws of life because it is essentially destructive.
Alexis Carrel
When we pray we link ourselves with an inexhaustible motive power.
Alexis Carrel
All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.
Alexis Carrel
Logic never attracts men to the point of carrying them away.
Alexis Carrel

Alexis Carrel
Those who don't learn to fight worry, die young.
Alexis Carrel
Prayer is the most powerful form of energy one can generate....It supplies us with a flow of sustaining power in our daily lives.
Alexis Carrel
The modern city consists of...dark, narrow streets full of gasoline fumes, coal dust, and toxic gasses, torn by the noise.
Alexis Carrel
The quality of life is more important than life itself.
Alexis Carrel
The atmosphere of libraries, lecture rooms and laboratories is dangerous to those who shut themselves up in them too long. It separates us from reality like a fog.
