Extracts from Mrs. Eddy's Science and Health

From the December 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail." "Whatever is self-acting and eternal, acts without being asked." Again: "He who is immutably Right, will do right without being reminded of it." "You render the divine law of healing obscure and void to your own apprehension, by limiting (in belief, or in any direction,) the benevolence, impartiality, and omnipotence of God." "The spiritual sense of Truth can only be discerned by the honest, unselfish, loving and meek." "Spirit reconstructs a better body, when it has mastered our fears of matter in the strength of God." "There is no strength except that which, in humility, identifies itself with God."— Adams. "Personal and material man is an atom of dust thrown into the face of spiritual immensity—a flickering sense, instead of an abiding consciousness of being." "The stronger the manifestations of sense, the weaker are the indications of Soul." "An immortal being should never be conscious of pain." "When the mechanism of mortal mind goes on undisturbed by fear, selfishness, or malice, disease cannot enter the mind and get a foothold."

Babylon, in all its desolation, is a sight not so awful as that of the human mind in ruins.
