The soul is not where it lives, but where it loves.

A little body often harbors a great soul.
-Proverb

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.
-Joseph Addison

The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little.
-William R. Alger

The only substance properly so called is the soul.

The soul never thinks without a picture.

We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.
-Aristotle

To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
-Marcus Aurelius

I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.
-Charles Baudelaire

What is does a person profit if they gain the whole world and lose their soul.
-Bible

You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output -- how much you produce -- not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself and your own personal evolution.
-Jean Shinoda Bolen

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
-Robert Bolt

Some tension is necessary for the soul to grow, and we can put that tension to good use. We can look for every opportunity to give and receive love, to appreciate nature, to heal our wounds and the wounds of others, to forgive, and to serve.
-Joan Borysenko

The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.
-Thomas Carlyle

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
-Marcus Tullius Cicero

Inexorable facts connect our consciousness with this body that we know; and that not merely as a whole, but the parts of it are connected severally with parts of our brain-action. If there is any similar connexion with a spiritual body, it only follows that the spiritual body must die at the same time with the natural one. Consider a mountain rill. It runs down in the sunshine, and its water evaporates; yet it is fed by thousands of tiny tributaries, and the stream flows on. The water may be changed again and again, yet still there is the same stream. It widens over plains, or is prisoned and fouled by towns; always the same stream, but at last 'even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.' When than happens, no drop of water is lost, but the stream is dead.
-William Kingdon Clifford

Beauty lies within the soul
and should always be set free
take a glimpse at love so true and pure
found only.......within me

If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself.
-Meister Eckhart

Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seems to me to be empty and devoid of meaning.
-Albert Einstein

The soul's emphasis is always right.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul is one which has right judgments.
-Epictetus

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.
-Marshal Ferdinand Foch

The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection much more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body.
-Michel Foucault
