I can forgive the body breaking down. It's a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.

Our own theological Church, as we know, has scorned and vilified the body till it has seemed almost a reproach and a shame to have one, yet at the same time has credited it with power to drag the soul to perdition.

A weak soul does not have the endurance to resist the flesh for very long. It grows heavy, becomes flesh itself, and the contest ends. But among responsible men, men who keep their eyes riveted day and night upon the Supreme Duty, the conflict between flesh and spirit breaks out mercilessly and may last until death.

With man, the life of the body depends on the life of the spirit.

Our body is the temple of our spirit.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.

Spirit is impervious to illness.

Punishment cannot heal spirits, can only break them.
