More quotes by Bernie Siegel
By disregarding intuition in favor of science, or science in favor of instincts, we limit ourselves.
Bernie Siegel
Love and kindness are the basis of my religious beliefs. The rituals and outward signs are not as important as one's actions and deeds. Religion should be a path to God, not something to fight about.
Bernie Siegel
I grew up caring about people and I would say again, that's what made me who I am. I became a doctor for what I like to call healthy reasons. Not because I'm fascinated by the human body or want to understand death, but I like people and I want to help them. That also became my problem, because I couldn't help everyone, I couldn't fix everyone
Bernie Siegel
For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.
Bernie Siegel
Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.
Bernie Siegel
If you see what you do each day as your way of loving the world and helping it heal, then life gets to be a lot different. The difference between burning up and burning out is the difference between loving what you are doing and not loving it.
Bernie Siegel
You too are a work of art.
Bernie Siegel
Give someone who has faith in you a placebo and call it a hair growing pill, anti-nausea pill or whatever, and you will be amazed at how many respond to your therapy.
Bernie Siegel
I love how Mother Theresa said she wouldn't attend an anti-war rally but if there was a peace rally to call her. So I realized it's not about waging a war against everybody's disease and diagnosis but rather about helping them live.
Bernie Siegel
It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.
Bernie Siegel
God is in everyone and everything. When we save each other or guide each other or just love each other, we are doing God's work. So God dresses in Eskimo clothing or other disguises, and responds to us whether or not we are aware enough to hear, see, or feel God's loving guidance. Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.
Bernie Siegel
I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.
Bernie Siegel
Information doesn't mean a thing to people without inspiration.
Bernie Siegel
Act as if you are the person you want to be.
Bernie Siegel
Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.
Bernie Siegel
Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It's paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors.
Bernie Siegel
Traditional doctors say I'm a mystic. I don't deny it.
Bernie Siegel
There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.
Bernie Siegel
To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago but my experience altered my life and my beliefs.
Bernie Siegel
Feelings aroused by the touch of someones hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith - all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well.
