matter

Perhaps the universe is a big fat consciousness and the matter is just an illusion.

No matter how many good deeds we preform, they aren__ the ticket to earning God__ favor. God graces us in spite of what we do in this life, not because of.

Amongst it all my soul craved one thing, Love, for it was the beginning and end of anything that will ever truly matter.

Love is such a powerful subject matter because it comes in so many different shapes and sizes. It's about timing, fate, failure, redemption.

Where are you? In the past or in the future? It doesn't matter because if you are not in today you are in the wrong place!

Disease was a perverse, a dissolute form of life. And life? Life itself? Was it perhaps only an infection, a sickening of matter? Was that which one might call the original procreation of matter only a disease, a growth produced by morbid stimulation of the immaterial? The first step toward evil, toward desire and death, was taken precisely then, when there took place that first increase in the density of the spiritual, that pathologically luxuriant morbid growth, produced by the irritant of some unknown infiltration; this, in part pleasurable, in part a motion of self-defence, was the primeval stage of matter, the transition from the insubstantial to the substance. This was the Fall. The second creation, the birth of the organic out of the inorganic, was only another fatal stage in the progress of the corporeal toward consciousness, just as disease in the organism was an intoxication, a heightening and unlicensed accentuation of its physical state; and life, life was nothing but the next step on the reckless path of the spirit dishonored; nothing but the automatic blush of matter roused to sensation and become receptive for that which awaked it.

Obsessions are the only things that matter.

I__ fulfilling my calling no matter what is happening and against whom

There are often two sets of goals in life: those that we establish, and those that really matter.

No more the victory of spirit over matter and definitely not the victory of matter over spirit _ the next stage is not one overcoming the other, but a merge.

Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.

Without you, without your onslaughts, without your uprootings of us, we should remain all our lives inert, stagnant, puerile, ignorant both of ourselves and of God. You who batter us and then dress our wounds, you who resist us and yield to us, you who wreck and build, you who shackle and liberate, the sap of our souls, the hand of God, the flesh of Christ: it is you, matter, that I bless.

The commendable efforts of preachers to Europe is that people began to understand that wealth and success is not a matter of luck.

In America everything goes and nothing matters, while in Europe nothing goes and everything matters.

Our wishes become real and solid if we work on their formation. If it matters to you, make energy become matter.

Consult your memory to know what matters most in your life.

No matter how dark and hopeless a situation may seem, always hold on and never give up your dream.

Don't keep looking for "something" in the bag of "nothing". You will see the same thing again and again no matter how many times you repeat the look.
