More quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Each elect soul ... possesses God directly and finds in that unique possession the fulfillment of his own individuality.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love is the internal, affectively apprehended, aspect of the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the expression and the agent of universal synthesis.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The day is not far distant when humanity will realize that biologically it is faced with a choice between suicide and adoration.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Today, something is happening to the whole structure of human consciousness. A fresh kind of life is starting. Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world are seeking each other, so that the world may come into being.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
God is not remote from us. He is at the point of my pen, my (pick) shovel, my paint brush, my (sewing) needle - and my heart and thoughts.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
That there is an evolution of one sort or another is now common ground among scientists. Whether or not that evolution is directed is another question.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is in the hands of those who can give tomorrow's generations valid reasons to live and hope.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The only way forward is in the direction of a common passion, for nothing in the universe can ultimately resist the cumulative ardor of the collective soul.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We have reached a crossroads in human evolution where the only road which leads forward is towards a common passion. . . To continue to place our hopes in a social order achieved by external violence would simply amount to our giving up all hope of carrying the Spirit of the Earth to its limits.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The whole life lies in the verb seeing.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The past has revealed to me the structure of the future.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The reality of spirit-matter is inevitably translated into and confirmed by a structure of the spirit.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
If there were no internal propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level - indeed in the molecule itself - it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up, with us, in hominized form... Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come into being.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Faith has need of the whole truth.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
