More quotes by Alexis Carrel
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
Alexis Carrel
There are no watertight compartments in our inmost nature.
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
It is faith, and not reason, which impels men to action... Intelligence is content to point out the road, but never drives us along it.
Alexis Carrel
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.
Alexis Carrel
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.
Alexis Carrel
Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men lifted out of sickness by the power of prayer. It is the only power in the world that overcomes the laws of nature.
Alexis Carrel
Comforts and syphilis are the greatest enemies of mankind.
Alexis Carrel

Alexis Carrel
Prayer is a cry of distress, a demand for help, a hymn of love.
Alexis Carrel
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
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
Scientific civilisation has destroyed the soul of the world.
Alexis Carrel
Everyone makes a greater effort to hurt other people than to help himself.
Alexis Carrel
...the influence of the factory upon the physiological and mental state of the workers has been completely neglected.
Alexis Carrel
Logic never attracts men to the point of carrying them away.
