Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.

There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching toward him and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.

On no other stage are the scenes shifted with a swiftness so like magic as on the great stage of history when once the hour strikes.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.

God is alive. Magic is afoot.

To blow and to swallow at the same time is not easy; I cannot at the same time be here and also there.

Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

Nothing from nothing ever yet was born.

The mind is led on, step by step, to defeat its own logic.

One thing alone not even God can do: to make undone whatever has been done.
