Quotations are the fundamental distillation of a writer’s life and thinking as recorded in words and phrases for posterity. Through them the reader is afforded the unique opportunity to share in the thoughts, the life and the experiences of the writer. In a special way, they offer the reader a window into the mind of the author and hopefully an inducement to read further and learn more about the author and the story he relates.

On a wider scale, they are, as William Feather wrote, “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages preserved into perpetuity“, and as such they are available for the enrichment and enhancement of humanity, regardless of age, sex, race, educational or economic status. They are indeed, as the Talmud states, “food for the famished”.

The collection of quotations presented in this blog, have been chosen by me because of their special impact upon me. They have been published so that you too, may experience the joy I have had over the years reading them and getting to know the authors.

I trust that you will come to know the feeling of deep satisfaction possible from reading them, searching out the author and meditating upon their meaning and their impact on your life.

MIRACLE

Miracles are not contrary to nature;
But only contrary to what we know of nature. …..St. Augustine

For the truly faithful, no Miracle is necessary.
For those who doubt, no Miracle is sufficient. …….Nancy Gibbs

To be alive, to be able to see, to walk; Its all a Miracle. …..Arthur Rubinstein

There are only two ways to live your life;
One is as though nothing is a Miracle.
The other is as though everything is a Miracle. ……Albert Einstein

Miracles happen every day.
Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe,
but here, in our own lives. ……Deepak Chopra.

Miracles happen to those who believe in them. ……….Bernard Berenson

Nobody sees the obvious, nobody observes the ordinary.
There are more Miracles in a square yard of earth
than in all the fables of the Church. ………Robert Anton Wilson
