The real history does not get written, because it is not in people's brains but in their nerves and vitals.
Alfred North Whitehead

Paper money will invariably operate in the body of politics as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and ultimately destroy them
George Washington

there are - as every one knows - two kinds of writing: one coming out of your vitals and the other from the top of your head. The first is the only sort from which any true private pleasure can be gained, for it is a way of getting something out of life which seemed to be there in childhood, when childhood is quite over.
J. E. Buckrose

See, then, how powerful religion is it commands the heart, it commands the vitals. Morality,--that comes with a pruning-knife, and cuts off all sproutings, all wild luxuriances but religion lays the axe to the root of the tree. Morality looks that the skin of the apple be fair but religion searcheth to the very core.

Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.

O jealousy, Thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom Preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue Of my flesh check to haggard sallowness, And drinks my spirit up!
Hannah More
Image
Each lost soul will be a hell unto itself, the boundless fire raging in its very vitals.
James Joyce
Image
I read that when cats are cuddling and kneading you, and you think it's cute, they're really just checking your vitals for weak spots.
Kandyse McClure
Image
Over-consumption is a cancer eating away at our spiritual vitals. It distances us from the great masses of broken bleeding humanity. It converts us into materialists. We become less able to ask the moral questions.
Richard J. Foster
