Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men lifted out of sickness by the power of prayer. It is the only power in the world that overcomes the laws of nature.

Discipline brings us effort, sacrifice and suffering. Later it brings us something of an inestimable value: something of which those who live only for pleasure, profit or amusement will always be deprived. This peculiar indefinable joy which one must have felt oneself to understand is the sign with which life marks its moment of triumph.

As to virtue . . . it is an act of the will, a habit which increases the quantity, intensity and quality of life. It builds up, strengthens and vivifies personality.

Intelligence is almost useless to the person whose only quality it is.

The secret of life is to be found in life itself, in the full organic, intellectual and spiritual activities of our body.

There are no watertight compartments in our inmost nature.

In man, the things which are not measurable are more important than those which are measurable.
