The Quotable Soul "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." —Martin Luther King, Jr. "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." —Mother Teresa "My heart and I lie small upon the earth like a grain of throbbing sand." —Zitakala-Sa "The true is Godlike: we do not see it itself; we guess at it through its manifestations." — J. W. von Goethe This treasury of inspiring quotations captures the essence of our universal search for truth. Over 1,000 quotations cover a vibrant spectrum of timeless topics. Traveling across time and space, coming from diverse viewpoints, they all possess the power to delight the soul, soothe the spirit, and challenge the intellect.
