knows itself through itself."
- St. Thomas Aquinas |

and an angel."
- Emanuel Swedenborg |

"Few people realize the profound
part angelic forces play in human events."

to see angels more often."

that Angels are human form, or men, for I have conversed with
them as man to man, sometimes with one alone, sometimes with
many in company."
- Emanuel Swedenborg |
| 26. angel quote: |
"Angels come to help and guide
us in as many guises as there are people who need their assistance.
Sometimes we see their ethereal, heavenly shadow, bright with
light and radiance. Sometimes we only feel their nearness or
hear their whisper. And sometimes they look no different from
ourselves..."
- Eileen Elias Freeman |
| 27. angel quote: |
"Contemporary Angel accounts
are frequently about unpredictable encounters that have personal
significance in the lives of otherwise average people. Most
accounts involve some wonderful or mysterious being who appeared
when most needed and who was usually only recognized as an Angel
in retrospect."
- Ruth J. Moro |
| 28. angel quote: |
"One thing is clear: Angels
are far more than projections of the divine mind or literary
devices. They are real, personal beings, even if their corporeality
is totally different from ours."
- Eileen Elias Freeman |
| 29. angel quote: |
"And the Angel said, 'I have
learned that every man lives, not through care of himself, but
by love.'"

understand better than the human intellect can, precisely because
such knowledge and understanding comes to them by way of ideas
infused in them by God."
- Mortimer Adler |
| 31. angel quote: |
"Angels speak. They appear and
reappear. They feel with apt sense of emotion. While Angels
may become visible by choice, our eyes are not conducted to
see them ordinarily any more than we can see the dimensions
of a nuclear field, the structure of atoms, or the electricity
that flows through copper wiring."
- Billy Graham |
| 32. angel quote: |
"The traditional Christian belief
is that eternal God was alone in the beginning. Then, He created
Angels, next the universe, and finally, humankind. However,
some early Jewish writers thought that God creates Angels every
time He breathes."
- John Ronner |
| 33. angel quote: |
"Angels are intelligent reflections
of light, that original light which has no beginning. They can
illuminate. They do not need tongues or ears, for they can communicate
without speech, in thought."
- John of Damascus |
| 34. angel quote: |
"A person is disposed to an
act of choice by an angel in two ways. Sometimes, a man's understanding
is enlightened by an angel to know what is good, but it is not
instructed as to the reason why. But sometimes he is instructed
by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to
the reason why it is good."
- St. Thomas Aquinas |
| 35. angel quote: |
"Angels can help us understand
what intuition means in a personal way. Angels are actually
in charge of a large part of our intuitive self. Viewing intuition
from the perspective of angel consciousness, we can say that
intuition is our way of tapping into a higher power for guidance
and awareness."
- Terry Lynn Taylor |
| 36. angel quote: |
"Whatever you put your attention
on in this life will increase in your life. As you put your
attention on angels, they will begin increasingly to make their
presence known to you."
- Denise Linn |
| 37. angel quote: |
"But we can all be angels to
one another. We can choose to obey the still small stirring
within, the little whisper that says, "Go. Ask. Reach out.
Be an answer to someone's plea. You have a part to play. Have
faith." The world will be a better place for it. And wherever
they are, the angels will dance."
- Joan Wester Anderson |
| 38. angel quote: |
"Becoming aware of our angels'
hidden presence in our lives is not difficult or arduous, but
it is subtle and requires great patience."
- Eileen Elias Freeman |
| 39. angel quote: |
"Angels assist us in connecting
with a powerful yet gentle force, which encourages us to live
life to its fullest."
- Denise Linn |
| 40. angel quote: |
"Stone walls do not a prison
make, nor iron bars a cage.
Minds innocent and quiet take that for a hermitage:
If I have freedom in my love, and in my Soul I am free,
Angels alone, that soar above, enjoy such liberty."
- Richard Lovelace |
| 41. angel quote: |
"Let us be silent that we may
hear the whisper of God."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson |
| 42. angel quote: |
"Make yourself familiar with
the angels, and behold them
frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present
with you."
- Saint Francis de Sales |
| 43. angel quote: |
"The kind of work we do does
not make us holy, but we can make it holy. However "sacred"
a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify;
but rather as we are and have the divine being within, we bless
each task we do, be it eating, or sleeping, or watching, or
any other."
- Meister Eckhart |
| 44. angel quote: |
"Man is his own star, and the
soul that can, render an honest and a perfect man, Commands
all light, all influence, all fate: nothing to him falls early
or too late. Our acts are angels are, for good or ill: our fatal
shadows that walk by us still."
- John Fletcher |
| 45. angel quote: |
"If instead of a jewel, or even
a flower, we could cast the gift of a lovely thought into the
heart of another, that would be giving as the angels must give."
