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 have found in life that
if you
want
a
miracle you
first
need
to do
whatever
it is you can do--
if that's
to plant, then plant;
if it is to read,
then read;
if it is to change, then
change;
if it is to study, then study;
if it is to work, then work;
whatever
you have to do.
And then you will
be well
on your way
of doing the
labor
that works miracles.
Jim Rohn

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 miracles.
Kelley Vicstrom

Once all struggle is grasped, miracles are possible.
Mao Tse-Tung
|

All change is a miracle to contemplate; but
it is a miracle
which is taking place every second.
Henry David Thoreau |
|
|
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 |

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 |

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.

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
|
| |
|
Miracles
sometimes happen, but more often they're made of faith
and wit and hope and imagination, to say nothing about
sweat.
Tom Waldman |
| |
|
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. . . .

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
Blake
|
| |
|
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 or her true identity, of one's 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

Why,
who makes much of a miracle?
As to me I know nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs and houses towards
the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the
edge of the water,
Or stand under the trees in the woods,
Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the
bed at night with any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,
Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive, of a summer
forenoon,
Or animals feeding in the fields,
Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the
air,
Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars
shining so quiet and bright,
Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon
in spring;
Or whether I go among those I like best, and that
like me best--mechanics, boatmen, farmers,
Or among the savans--or to the soiree--or to the
opera,
Or stand a long while looking at the movements of
machinery,
Or behold children at their sports,
Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man, or
the perfect old woman,
Or the sick in hospitals, or the dead carried to
burial,
Or my own eyes and figure in the glass;
These, with the rest, one and all, are to me
miracles,
The whole referring--yet each distinct and in its
place.
To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is
spread with the same,
Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;
Every spear of grass--the frames, limbs, organs, of
men and women, and all that concerns them,
All these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.
To me the sea is a continual miracle,
The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the
waves--the ships, with men in them,
What stranger miracles are there?
Walt Whitman |

To
be alive, to be able to see, to walk. . . it's all a
miracle.
I have adopted the technique of living life from miracle to
miracle.
Artur Rubinstein |

Miracles seldom occur in the lives of those
who do not consider them
possible. There could be a miracle waiting for you this
minute. Please make room for it in your thinking.
Neale

When
we do the best we can, we never know what
miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

The
only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable
miracle,
which is exactly what it is: a miracle and
unrepeatable.

Everything is miraculous.
It is miraculous that one does not melt in one's bath.
Pablo Picasso

Don't
wait for some miracle to be performed on you from without,
lifting you
above your fears and doubts and self-centeredness. You
help God from within
by turning in outgoing love to others, and miraculously your
fears and doubts
and self-centeredness will vanish. The miracle starts
within, not from without.
E. Stanley Jones |

Miracles
occur naturally as an expression of love. The real
miracle is the love
that inspires them. In this sense everything that
comes from love is a miracle.

The
whole order of things is as outrageous
as any miracle which could presume to violate it.
G.K. Chesterton
|
| |
|
The
idea is to find some bit of holiness in everything--food,
sex, earning
and spending money, having children, conversations with
friends.
Everything can be seen as a miracle, as part of God's plan.
When we can truly see this, we nourish our souls.

All
is miracle. The stupendous order of nature, the revolution
of a hundred million of worlds around a million of suns, the
activity
of light, the life of animals, all are grand and
perpetual miracles.
Voltaire |

People usually consider
walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But
I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or
in thin air, but
to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a
miracle which we
don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green
leaves, the black,
curious eyes of a child--our own two eyes. All is a
miracle.
Thich
Nhat Hanh |

Miracles
are heaven-sent. They instill awe and connect us to
wonder
and mystery. Miracles are divine interventions sent to
help us, instill
hope, deeply encourage, and comfort us. They relieve
our suffering
and express God's compassion and love. Miracles are
outward
occurrences, like a healing that extends life or a turning
point,
but they are also a frame of mind.
Susan Santucci

Miracles
happen all the time. You'll take them for
granted. The fact
that you are here is a miracle. Miracles are what
happen beyond
immediate comprehension. Explaining it doesn't
diminish the miracle.
Scientists may describe what makes grass green. Their
explanations
will seem logical, but all they did was put words together
in a way to
try to rationalize what they can't understand.
The explanation doesn't hide the miracle.
Look for miracles.
Joe Vitale

This
world, after all our science and sciences, is still a
miracle;
wonderful, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Thomas
Carlyle |
| |
|
Where there is great love
there are always
miracles. 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 |

To
my mind, the idea that doing dishes is unpleasant can
occur only
when you aren't doing them. Once you
are standing in front of the
sink with your sleeves
rolled up and your hands in the warm water,
it is
really quite pleasant. I enjoy taking my time
with each dish, being
fully aware of the dish,
the water, and each movement of my hands.
I know
that if I hurry in order to eat dessert sooner, the
time of
washing dishes will be unpleasant and not
worth living. That would
be a pity, for each
minute, each second of life is a miracle. The dishes
themselves and that fact that I am here washing
them are miracles!

We have
been looking for the burning bush, the parting of the sea,
the bellowing voice from heaven. Instead we should be
looking at
the ordinary day-to-day events in our lives for evidence of
the miraculous.
M. Scott Peck
The Road Less Traveled |

We
want someone else to act. But miracles aren't what
other people do.
They're what each of us does. They're what happens
when ordinary
people take extraordinary action. To be a miracle
doesn't mean you have
to tackle problems across the globe. It means making a
difference in your
own living room, cubicle, neighborhood, community.
Regina Brett

Miracles
are instantaneous, they cannot be summoned,
but come of themselves, usually at unlikely moments
and to those who least expect them.
Katherine Anne Porter |
| |
Life can be
lived so miraculously on any scale in any clime, under
any condition. . . . Keep the miracle alive. Live
always in the miracle;
make the miracle more and more miraculous; swear allegiance
to
nothing but live only miraculously; think only miraculously;
die
miraculously. It matters little how much is destroyed
if only the
germ of the miraculous be preserved and nurtured.
Henry Miller
