We did everything possible to keep up the spirits of the men, but it was exceedingly difficult because there was nothing for them to do.

— Theodore Roosevelt

Here all great emotions decay: here only little, dry emotions may rattle!Do you not smell already the slaughter-houses and cook-shops of the spirit? Does this city not reek of the fumes of slaughtered spirit?Do you not see the souls hanging like dirty, limp rags? – And they also make newspapers from these rags!Have you not heard how the spirit has here become a play with words? It vomits our repulsive verbal swill! – And they also make newspapers from this verbal swill.They pursue one another and do not know where. They inflame one another, and do not know why. They rattle their tins, they jingle their gold.They are cold and seek warmth in distilled waters; they are inflamed and seek coolness in frozen spirits; they are all ill and diseased with public opinion.All lusts and vices are at home here; but there are virtuous people here, too, there are many adroit, useful virtues.

— Friedrich Nietzsche

If you are there for the Lord, He will be there for you. If you love Him and keep His commandments, you will have His Spirit to be with you and guide you.

If your consciousness is without form, without quality, and without characteristics of any kind, would that not imply that the consciousness in every other being is also formless? And if they are all without form, how can you distinguish their consciousness from your own? What forms would you use to compare them? Isn’t the observing you exactly the same as the observing them?

— Joseph P. Kauffman

Deep spiritual affection is divinity of two souls but oneness in spirit.

— Lailah Gifty Akita

Ancient lovers believed a kiss would literally unite their souls, because the spirit was said to be carried in one's breath.

— Eve Glicksman

Be still and cool in thine own mind and spirit.

— George Fox

First time I ever put pen to paper, I had one goal – to build something no one had ever thought of before.

— Carla H. Krueger

Be with someone that makes you happy... STRIKE THAT...Be Someone that makes you happy.

— Raymond D. Longoria Jr.

Every spirit seeks its sacred soul.

— Lailah Gifty Akita
