Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot
explain,
surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of
miracles.
George Bernard Shaw
|
|
The most wonderful thing about miracles
is
that they sometimes happen.
G.K. Chesterson |
|
Know in your heart that all things are
possible.
We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none had ever
happened.
Libbie Fudim |
|
I am realistic--I expect miracles.
Wayne Dyer

Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the
store
And the dimes are the things that he needs,
And I've
been to buy them in seasons before
But have thought of them
merely as seeds;
But it flashed through my mind as I took
them this time,
"You purchased a miracle here for a
dime."
Edgar Albert Guest |
| |
|
Each of my days are miracles.
I won't waste my day;
I won't throw away miracle.
Kelley Vicstrom

Once all struggle is grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Tse-Tung
|
| |
|
|
| |
Some people think a miracle is only a miracle
if it happens
instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly
and patience
and faith can compel things to happen that
otherwise
never would have come to pass.
Boyd K. Packer

If Spring came but once in a century, instead
of once a year, or burst forth
with the sound of an
earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder
and expectation
there would be in all hearts to behold the
miraculous
change! But now the silent succession suggests
nothing but
necessity. To most people only the cessation of the miracle
would be miraculous and the perpetual exercise of God's
power
seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
| |
|
|
| |
| All change is a miracle to contemplate; but
it is a miracle which is taking place every second.
Henry David Thoreau |
|
|
Why has our poetry eschewed
The rapture and
response of food?
What hymns are sung and praises said
For
the home made miracle of bread?
Louis Untermeyer |
| |
|
You can become blind by seeing each day as a
similar one.
Each day is a different one, each day brings a
miracle of its own.
It's just a matter of paying attention
to this miracle.
Paulo Coelho |
|
To love someone is to always see them as the
miracle that they are;
as the miracle that they exist, the
miracle that makes your own
simultaneous existence seem
fortunately improbable and therefore
defiantly miraculous;
is to show them, in your eyes and through
the way in which
you look at them, the limitless beauty of their
true
miraculous selves; is to say to them in every glance:
"I
believe in miracles because I believe in you."
Philip Jason |

| Expect a miracle. Receive the miracle with
great humility.

Miracles rest not so much upon healing power
coming suddenly
near us from afar, but upon our perceptions
being made finer,
so that for the moment our eyes can see
and our ears
can hear what has been there around us always.
Willa Cather |
| |
|
In the realist, faith is not born from
miracles, but miracles from faith.
Fyodor Dostoevsky |
| |
|
|
| |
|
When
people truly open their minds, and contemplate the way in
which
the universe is ordered and governed, they are
amazed--overwhelmed
by a sense of the miraculous. When people contemplate
with open minds
the germination of a single seed, they are equally
overwhelmed--yet
numerous babies are born every day, and no-one
marvels. If only
people opened their minds, they would see that the birth of
a baby,
in which a new life is created, is a greater miracle than
restoring life.
Augustine
of Hippo |
| |
|
Yes,
it is true. I am a miracle.
I am a miracle like a tree
is a miracle, like a flower
is a miracle. Now, if I am
a miracle, can I do a bad
thing? I can't, because
I am a miracle,
I am a miracle. . . .
Pau

To
be a miracle worker you do not have to get a
doctoral degree, become a minister, eat a
particular food, or be able to meditate
for long hours. All you need to do is to begin
to see beauty in your life and those around you.
Alan
Cohen |

You are always wanting miracles; but God sows
miracles
by handfuls under your feet, and yet you still have people
who deny their existence.
Allan Kardec |
| |
|
Miracles
only work through your own faith. Where there is
not faith there can be no miracle. So those who want
to perform a miracle can only do so by the power of faith.
From this it is evident that the matter rests entirely with
you.
Papa
Ramdas |

The
person who does not believe in miracles surely
makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.
William

In
asking for miracles, we are seeking a practical goal:
a return to inner peace. We're not asking for something
outside us to change, but for something inside us to change.
Marianne
Williamson |
| |
|
A
miracle is nothing more or less than this. Anyone who has
come into
a knowledge of his true identity, of his oneness with the
all-pervading
wisdom and power, this makes it possible for laws higher
than the
ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him or her.
Ralph
Waldo Trine |
| |
|
The inexplicable happens all the
time. It makes more sense to simply
accept things we observe but cannot understand. It is
really more scientific
to keep an open mind. Until we can understand and
explain the things
we now label miracles, let us accept them and try to create
more of them.
Bernie
