We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinSomeday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinIt is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.
