Quotes by Harold Bell Wright (?)

“Eyes blinded by the fog of things
cannot see truth.
Ears deafened by the din of things
cannot hear truth.
Brains bewildered by the whirl of things
cannot think truth.
Hearts deadened by the weight of things
cannot feel truth.
Throats choked by the dust of things
cannot speak truth.”
― Harold Bell Wright, The Uncrowned King

“鈥 never understood until the past months why the Master so often withdrew alone into the wilderness. There is not only food and medicine for one鈥檚 body; there is also healing for the heart and strength for the soul in nature. One gets very close to God鈥n these temples of God鈥檚 own building.”
― Harold Bell Wright, The Shepherd of the Hills

“Here and there among men, there are those who pause in the hurried rush to listen to the call of a life that is more real鈥� He who sees and hears too much is cursed for a dreamer, a fanatic, or a fool, by the mad mob who, having eyes, see not, ears and hear not, and refuse to understand鈥� ”
