Mary Baker Eddy quotes about
men divine-power human-nature
Nothing save divine power is capable of doing so much for man as he can for himself.
art men quarrels
I would no more quarrel with a man because of his religion than I would because of his art.
men law opposites
If God causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that He makes is good and will stand forever. If the transgression of God's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. It is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine Mind, which causes the belief of sickness. The remedy is Truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.
spiritual men errors
Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
revenge mistake men
A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
god men law
Every law of matter or the body, supposed to govern man,is rendered null and void by the law of Life, God.
exercise men civilization
Is civilization only a higher form of idolatry, that man should bow down to a flesh-brush, to flannels, to baths, diet, exercise, and air?
christian men evil
This is the doctrine of Christian Science: that divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation, or object; that joy cannot be turned into sorrow, for sorrow is not the master of joy; that good can never produce evil; that matter can never produce mind nor life result in death. The perfect man - governed by God, his perfect Principle - is sinless and eternal.
mother father men
Man and woman as coexistent and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite Father-Mother God.
perseverance men miracle
The lives of great men and women are miracles of patience and perseverance.
conclusion humane mind period rolling subtle successive
Each successive period of progress is a period more humane and spiritual. The only logical conclusion is that all is Mind and its manifestation, from the rolling of worlds, in the most subtle ether, to a potato-patch.
becomes god science truth
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not of God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
jesus son unity
The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. ... Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God.
intellectual amusement demand
Literary commercialism is lowering the intellectual standard to accommodate the purse and to meet a frivolous demand for amusement instead of for improvement.
