Quote

Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?

Image
The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God.
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
Image
Under affliction in the very depths, stop and contemplate what you have to be grateful for.
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
Great mischief comes from attempts to steady other people's altars.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delineate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
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.

Sickness is a belief, which must be annihilated by the divine Mind.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
In spring, nature is like a thrifty housewife ... taking up the white carpets and putting down the green ones.

A wrong motive involves defeat.

Image
If materialistic knowledge is power, it is not wisdom. It is but a blind force.
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
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
To live and let live, without clamor for distinction or recognition to wait on divine love to write truth first on the tablet of one's own heart - this is the sanity and perfection of living, and my human ideal.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
Spirit is the real and eternal matter is the unreal and temporal.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
As in Jesus' time, so today, tyranny and pride need to be whipped out of the temple, and humility and divine Science to be welcomed in.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.

The time for thinkers has come.
