Agriculture is for living; mind culture is for life. Skills are for shaping material things so that they cater more for the comfort of man; studies are for shaping attitudes, feelings, desires, emotions and impulses of man, so that they may confer more peace, more joy and more fortitude on man Picture Quote #1

Spiritual power is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest force in the development of men. Ye. we have been merely playing with it and never have really studied it as we have the physical forces.

Then the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of spiritual forces which have hardly been scratched Picture Quote #1

Eternal truths are ultimately invisible, and you won’t find them in material things or natural phenomena, or even in human emotions Picture Quote #1

These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. There were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is no substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you as I’m sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have Picture Quote #1

The most valuable lesson I’ve ever learned in my life is that life is about family and friends, not about material things or any of that. It’s about enjoying your life.

Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit Picture Quote #1

Don’t depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don’t make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things Picture Quote #1

The few men who possess the wealth of the material things of the earth at the present time are not truly happy Picture Quote #1

If you wish to care for your body, first of all take care of material things, though even when you have all the things you want, the body can still be uncared for Picture Quote #1
