Welcome to these Purified Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

and composed and with God as witness.

pure water forms pure ice - dirty water forms dirty ice.

before they manifest into physical reality,
than to try to cut the cancerous impurities from solid reality
after you have manifested your thoughts into physical form.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Always aim at complete harmony

Always aim at purifying your thoughts
and everything will be well.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

There are those who will never admit it.

and were suspicious of each other] came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds ... and ...
took him to an inn and took care of him. ...
Jesus [said] "Go and do likewise."
