A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth. All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy has failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. It is the only power in the world that seems to overcome the so-called "laws of nature"; the occasions on which prayer has dramatically done this have been termed "miracles". But a constant, quieter miracle takes place hourly in the hearts of men and women who have discovered that prayer supplies them with a steady flow of sustaining power in their daily lives.Hard conditions of life are indispensable to bringing out the best in human personality.In man, the things which are not measurable are more important than those which are measurable.Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia. Like hatred, jealousy is forbidden by the laws of life because it is essentially destructive.Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.The mug is a tool. My ace in the hole. To have looks is the bonus on top of what motivates me to be an actor. Not to realize they're an asset would be counterproductive to the cause; they serve the common good. |
