Soul Quotes

The only substance properly so called is the soul.

Henri Frederic Amiel

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

C.S. Lewis

The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.

Thomas Carlyle

There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.

Charles Dickens

Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.

Fredrich Halm

The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul is one which has right judgments.

Epictetus

Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed through it.

Rabbi Harold Kushner

There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.

Oscar Wilde

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

Virginia Woolf

How shall the soul of a man be larger than the life he has lived?

Edgar Lee Masters

How strange a thing this is! The Priest telleth me that the Soul is worth all the gold in the world, and the merchants say that it is not worth a clipped piece of silver.

Oscar Wilde

In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.

Saint John of the Cross

The man who is always worrying whether or not his soul would be damned generally has a soul that isn't worth a damn.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The care of every man's soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.

Thomas Jefferson

My soul can find no staircase to heaven unless it be through Earth's loveliness

Michelangelo Buonarroti

Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.

George Sand

This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

Virginia Woolf

Beauty lies within the soul and should always be set freetake a glimpse at love so true and purefound only.......within me

Mara E. Dvorak, The Soul Within
