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.

More quotes by Bernie Siegel
Having pets in the house helps everyone have a reverence for life.
Bernie Siegel
Several of our children have married outside my faith. Would I prefer they marry within their religion? Yes, because I know that marrying outside the family faith will very likely bring them more problems-but not from me. My job is to accept them and love them, not to criticize them and make their lives more difficult.
Bernie Siegel
Your body loves you, but if you do not love your life, it will end it far sooner, thinking it is doing you a favor.
Bernie Siegel
You too are a work of art.
Bernie Siegel
True inspiration overrides all fears. When you are inspired, you enter a trance state and can accomplish things that you may never have felt capable of doing.
Bernie Siegel
Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.
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
Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.
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
Thoughts are chemical. They can either kill us or cure us.
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
Refusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.
Bernie Siegel
It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.
Bernie Siegel
If you watch how nature deals with adversity, continually renewing itself, you can't help but learn.
Bernie Siegel
There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.
Bernie Siegel
When my body gets to the point where I can no longer function or feel gratitude, then I'll leave it and become grateful again. But until then, I will appreciate what I have and not whine about what I don't have. I will feel blessed by life and the opportunity to help others see that they are blessed, too.
Bernie Siegel
You can see people draw the past, present and future as well as dream about it. You go to bed at night and have a dream that says there's a lump in your right breast and the doctor who is foreign, with an accent tells you it's cancer.
Bernie Siegel
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.'

Information doesn't mean a thing to people without inspiration.

To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago but my experience altered my life and my beliefs.
