SPIRIT
-
Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them.—Bible, Leviticus 19:31
-
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.—Bible, Isaiah 8:19, 20
-
Not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.—Bible, 2 Corinthians 3:6
-
The great spirits that have gone before us can only survive as disembodied voices.—CARLYLE
-
Spirit is now a very fashionable word; to act with spirit, to speak with spirit, means only to act rashly, and to talk indiscreetly. An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid.—LORD CHESTERFIELD
-
A man of a right spirit is not a man of narrow and private views, but is greatly interested and concerned for the good of the community to which he belongs, and particularly of the city or village in which he resides, and for the true welfare of the society of which he is a member.—JONATHAN EDWARDS
-
Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth
Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep.—MILTON, Paradise Lost
-
Glendower. I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur. Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them?—SHAKESPEARE, Henry IV
-
High spirit in man is like a sword, which, though worn to annoy his enemies, yet is often troublesome to his friends: he can hardly wear it so inoffensively but it is apt to incommode one or other of the company; it is more properly a loaded pistol, which accident alone may fire and kill one.—W. SHENSTONE
-
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.—SHELLEY, Love's Philosophy
