Ernest Holmes

“Man, by thinking, can bring into his experience whatsoever he desires--if he thinks correctly, and becomes a living embodiment of his thoughts. This is not done by holding thoughts but by knowing the Truth.”

“To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.”

“The principle of any science is invisible, theoretical, as is our idea of Spirit. No one has seen God; no one has seen Life; what we have seen is the manifestation of Life. No one has seen Intelligence; we experience it. No one has ever seen Causation; we can see what It does, we deal with Its effects. We do not see Beauty. The artist feels beauty and depicts it as best he can, and the result of his effort is what we call the beautiful...We do not see Life, we experience living. Causation is invisible.”

“In principle the great religions of the world do not differ as much as they appear to.”

“Borrowing knowledge of reality from all sources, taking the best from every study, Science of Mind brings together the highest enlightenment of the ages.”

“I do not believe that God has imposed suffering upon anyone to punish them or to teach them a lesson.”

“Never limit your view of life by any past experience.”

“We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.”

“The intellect is a cold thing and a merely intellectual idea will never stimulate thought in the same manner that a spiritual idea does.”

“Teach and practice, practice and teach - that is all we have; that is all we are good for; that is all we ever ought to do.”

“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.”

“There was a time when a man was so convinced that the world was round that he was determined to prove it.”

“The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible.”

“God gives some more than others because some accept more than others.”

“When prayer removes distrust and doubt and enters the field of mental certainty, it becomes faith; and the universe is built on faith.”

“The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.”

“I live in the faith that there is a Presence and Power greater than I am that nurtures and supports me in ways I could not even imagine. I know that this Presence is All knowing and All Power and is Always right where I am”

“There is one power in the Universe and we can all use it.”

“Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.”

“Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.”
