More quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
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
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
Man and woman as coexistent and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite Father-Mother God.
Mary Baker Eddy
True prayer is not asking God for love it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection.
Mary Baker Eddy
A wrong motive involves defeat.
Mary Baker Eddy
Great mischief comes from attempts to steady other people's altars.
Mary Baker Eddy
God is Mind, and God is infinite hence all is Mind.
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
The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God.
Mary Baker Eddy
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
Mary Baker Eddy
Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.
Mary Baker Eddy
Sickness, sin, and death, being inharmonious, do not originate in God nor belong to His government.
Mary Baker Eddy
The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God.
Mary Baker Eddy
Sickness is an illusion, to be annihilated by Science.
Mary Baker Eddy
Under affliction in the very depths, stop and contemplate what you have to be grateful for.
Mary Baker Eddy
Disease is an image of thought externalized.
Mary Baker Eddy
Sorrow has its reward. It never leaves us where it found us.
Mary Baker Eddy
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
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
Mary Baker Eddy
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
