More quotes by Evelyn Underhill
I do hope your Christmas has had a little touch of Eternity in among the rush and pitter patter and all. It always seems such a mixing of this world and the next - but that after all is the idea!
Evelyn Underhill
Worship is the one, total adoring response of man to the one Eternal God.
Evelyn Underhill
In prayer the soul comes nearest the experience of absolute love: in belief it ascends by means of symbols towards absolute truth.
Evelyn Underhill
In the created world around us we see the Eternal Artist, Eternal Love at work.
Evelyn Underhill
The will is what matters---as long as you have that, you are safe.
Evelyn Underhill
I have just been given a very engaging Persian kitten... and his opinion is that I have been given to him.
Evelyn Underhill
Saints are the great teachers of the loving-kindness and fascination with God.
Evelyn Underhill
Spiritual achievement costs much, though never as much as it is worth.
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
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
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
A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God. He has achieved a deeper, bigger life than the rest of us, a more wonderful contact with the mysteries of the Universe a life of infinite possibility, the term of which he never feels that he has reached.
Evelyn Underhill
If we ask of the saints how they achieved spiritual effectiveness, they are only able to reply that, insofar as they did it themselves, they did it by love and prayer.
Evelyn Underhill
The spiritual life of individuals has to be extended both vertically to God and horizontally to other souls and the more it grows in both directions, the less merely individual and therefore more truly personal it will become.
Evelyn Underhill
If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshipped.
Evelyn Underhill
Mysticism is the art of union with Reality.
Evelyn Underhill
For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.
Evelyn Underhill
The business and method of mysticism is love.
Evelyn Underhill
Christian history looks glorious in retrospect but it is made up of constant hard choices and unattractive tasks, accepted under the pressure of the Will of God.
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.
