More quotes by Bernie Siegel
People have taught me what most doctors don't learn, in other words, when somebody does better than expected, the doctor will tell them they're doing very well and to keep it up. I learned to say, You didn't die when you were supposed to so what's going on?, and they always had a story to tell me.
Bernie Siegel
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all suffering will cease.
Bernie Siegel
Traditional doctors say I'm a mystic. I don't deny it.
Bernie Siegel
The simple truth is that happy people generally don't get sick

I know patients who bring a dozen roses to the doctor's office. And, boy, the next visit, nobody forgets that. You come in and hey - 'Here's the lady who brought the roses' vs. 'Here's the lung cancer.'
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
Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.
Bernie Siegel
To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago but my experience altered my life and my beliefs.
Bernie Siegel
There's very little that shocks me because I consider life a miracle so I guess what shocks me is that life exists. How the hell did we get here? What shocks me is that bacteria alter their genes and resist antibiotics and viruses resist vaccines.
Bernie Siegel
Hoping means seeing that the outcome you want is possible and then working for it.
Bernie Siegel
When you love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable, you’re free.
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
If I can't find a cat, I stop and quiet my mind, not yelling the cat's name, and focus on connecting with the cat and then I get the message and go to that room or outside door and find the cat.
