More quotes by 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
Saints are the great teachers of the loving-kindness and fascination with God.
Evelyn Underhill
Never forget that the key of the situation lies in the will & not in the imagination.
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
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
Adoration is caring for God above all else.
Evelyn Underhill
The first question here, then, is not What is best for my soul? nor is it even What is most useful to humanity? But-transcending both these limited aims-what function must this life fulfill in the great and secret economy of God?
Evelyn Underhill
Your dreamer may do without a creed, but he always wants a ritual.
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
Spiritual achievement costs much, though never as much as it is worth.
Evelyn Underhill
The primary declaration of Christianity is not This do! but This happened!
Evelyn Underhill
Worship is the one, total adoring response of man to the one Eternal God.
Evelyn Underhill
The business and method of mysticism is love.
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
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
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
Mysticism is the passionate longing of the soul for God.
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
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
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
