Image
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Prayer is not to be used as a confessional, to cancel sin. Such an error would impede true religion. Sin is forgiven only as it is destroyed by Christ - Truth and Light.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Sorrow has its reward. It never leaves us where it found us.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Man and woman as coexistent and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite Father-Mother God.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Reject hatred without hating.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
I love to observe Christmas in quietude, humility, benevolence, charity, letting good will towards man, eloquent silence, prayer, and praise express my conception of Truth’s appearing.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
The devotion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achievement possible. Exceptions only confirm this rule, proving that failure is occasioned by a too feeble faith.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Disease is an experience of mortal mind. It is fear made manifest on the body. Divine Science takes away this physical sense of discord, just as it removes a sense of moral or mental in-harmony.
Mary Baker Eddy

The age looks steadily to the redressing of wrong, to the righting of every form of error and injustice and a tireless and prying philanthropy, which is almost omniscient, is one of the most hopeful characteristics of the time.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
There should be painless progression, attended by life and peace....Mortals will some day assert their freedom in the name of Almighty God....Dropping their present beliefs, they will recognize harmony and as the spiritual reality and discord as the material unreality. Chapter VII pp. 224 and 228 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Mankind thinks either too much or too little of sin.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
The sharp experiences of belief in the supposititious life of matter, as well as our disappointments and ceaseless woes, turn us like tired children to the arms of divine Love.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Spring is my sweetheart.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
I will love, if another hates. I will gain a balance on the side of good, my true being. This alone gives me the forces of God wherewith to overcome all error.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
In spring, nature is like a thrifty housewife ... taking up the white carpets and putting down the green ones.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Sacrifice self to bless one another, even as God has blessed you. Forget self in laboring for mankind.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
No power can withstand divine Love.

Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
