More From Abbe Pierre

I believe in providence and i believe providence to be just. therefore i believe that providence always rewards the strong, the industrious, and the upright.

While others were out partying, i was training. while they were out dancing at the clubs, i was training... and training... and training.
Motivational Party Dancing
Eloquence, when at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason or reflection; but addressing itself entirely to the fancy or the affections, captivates the willing hearers, and subdues their understanding. happily, this pitch it seldom attains. but what a tully or a demosthenes could scarcely effect over a roman or athenian audience, every capuchin, every itinerant or stationary teacher can perform over the generality of mankind, and in a higher degree, by touching such gross and vulgar passions.
Teacher Passion Reflection
Silence is difficult and arduous; it is not to be played with. it isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. i am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. this silence demands intense psychological work. you have to be burningly aware - aware of your speech, aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. and when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence.
Book Reading Silence
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.
Years Practice Space
This new england we have invented for ourselves is not interested at all in education. it is only interested in training, both material and spiritual. education means freedom, it means ideas, it means truth. training is what you do to a pear tree when you pleach it and prune it to grow against a wall. training is what you give an airline pilot or a computer operator or a barrister or a radio producer. education is what you give children to enable them to be free from the prejudices and moral bankruptcies of their elders.

This is the greatest stumbling block in our spiritual discipline, which, in actuality, consists not in getting rid of the self but in realizing the fact that there is no such existence from the first.

Art thaws even the frozen, darkened soul, opening it to lofty spiritual experience.

The book of revelation has all the authority, in these theological uplands, of military orders in time of war. the people turn to it for light upon all their problems, spiritual and secular.
