More quotes by Evelyn Underhill
The direction and constancy of the will is what really matters, & intellect & feeling are only important in so far as they contribute to that.
Evelyn Underhill
On every level of life, from housework to heights of prayer, in all judgment and efforts to get things done, hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur.
Evelyn Underhill
The will is what matters---as long as you have that, you are safe.
Evelyn Underhill
Love is creative. It does not flow along the easy paths, spending itself in the attractive. It cuts new channels, goes where it is needed.
Evelyn Underhill
The mystic lives and looks and speaks the disconcerting language of first-hand experience.
Evelyn Underhill
Your dreamer may do without a creed, but he always wants a ritual.
Evelyn Underhill
No metaphysician has yet shaken the ordinary individual's belief in his own existence. The uncertainties only begin for most of us when we ask what else is.
Evelyn Underhill
For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.
Evelyn Underhill
The Christian is the person who sees every time and every situation, however dreary and repetitive, as God sees it - a fresh creation from his hand, demanding its own response in perhaps a wholly new and creative way. Under God he is free over it. He has won through to a purchase over events he has risen with Christ.
Evelyn Underhill
God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament.
Evelyn Underhill
The life, beauty and meaning of the whole created order, from the tomtit to the Milky Way, refers back to the Absolute Life and Beauty of its Creator: and so lived, every bit has spiritual significance.
Evelyn Underhill
though humility and acknowledgement of one's real failings is good, the gratuitous eating of worms not put before us by God does not nourish our souls a bit - merely in fact upsets the spiritual tummy.
Evelyn Underhill
The primary declaration of Christianity is not This do! but This happened!
Evelyn Underhill
God is acting on your soul all the time, whether you have spiritual sensations or not.
Evelyn Underhill
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life.
Evelyn Underhill
Many people feel unaware of any guidance, unable to discern or understand the signals of God not because the signals are not given, but because the mind is too troubled, clouded, and hurried to receive them.
Evelyn Underhill
There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.
Evelyn Underhill
It seems so much easier in these days to live morally than to live beautifully. Lots of us manage to exist for years without ever sinning against society, but we sin against loveliness every hour of the day.
Evelyn Underhill
Mysticism is the art of union with Reality.
Evelyn Underhill
As the beautiful does not exist for the artist and poet alone—though these can find in it more poignant depths of meaning than other men—so the world of Reality exists for all and all may participate in it, unite with it, according to their measure and to the strength and purity of their desire.
