Fox

“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer:
no disease that love will not heal:
no door that enough love will not open...
It makes no difference how deep set the trouble:
how hopeless the outlook: how muddled the tangle:
how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world...”

"Love is by far the most important thing of all. It is the golden gate of paradise. Pray for the understanding of Love, and meditate upon it daily. It casts out fear. It is the fulfilling of the law. Love is absolute invincible."

"This power is the real source of all things that exist. It needs only to flow into your being and transform itself into health, into true prosperity, into inspiration, or into anything else you may be needing. The power is there. It is present everywhere. It belongs to nobody in particular because it belongs to all. It is waiting at all times for men and women to call it into use -not merely in crisis, but in every problem however small every day of your life.

The fact that most people do not suspect the existence of this Power does not change the fact that it is there. Remember that hardly anyone except a few philosophers suspected the existence of electricity, or the power of the steam, until a few generations ago, then these things were brought into the service of man and have transformed the world. The laws of Nature were just the same then as they are now; only people did not know that such a force existed, and so they had to go without. I believe many of the limitations and difficulties that people take for granted will be things of the past." 

― "Emmet Fox (1886 – 1951) was a New Thought spiritual leader of the early 20th century, famous for his large Divine Science church services held in New York City during the Great Depression. His Sunday morning lectures at the Hippodrome Theatre, the Manhattan Opera House and Carnegie Hall were attended by over 5000 people.  His meditations were powerful and his sermons never lasted more than twenty minutes.  He spoke to, and of God in the most personal and intimate terms. 

Emmet Fox never married, although he had many friends and affectionate, warm associations throughout his life. Fox was said to be happy and radiant, always with a sense of good nature, often laughing at himself with a deep chuckle.

Three times a day, he withdrew from his work for silence and meditation. His deeper recognition of oneness with Omnipresent God often transcended normal perception beyond the limited five senses, arriving at a truer,  more powerful reality. Many were the occasions when others experienced his precognitive awareness. When his dear friend, Sunday-school teacher Blanche Wolhorn, awoke early on a Sunday morning feeling ill, she did not think she could participate in the service that morning. As she turned to look at her clock, the telephone rang.

It was Fox saying, “Blanche, I know you are feeling under the weather right now, but I’ve treated, and in a few minutes   you will be fine." And she  was. When his voice coach Alessandro was taken to a Manhattan hospital, Fox received a vision of it so clearly that he  went directly to the specific hospital to be with his teacher. Alessandro said, “Fox, who told you that I was here?"Emmet replied, “Alessandro, God told me!"

In August of 1951, Fox asked his good friends Herman and Blanche Wolhorn to arrange a trip to France and Egypt. He stated that he wanted to revisit a number of places in Paris “one more time." On August 14, he stated to the Wolhorns, “I have given all that I have to the people; now it’s up to them to carry on." In a soft tone, he added, “I will not be with you on our trip to Egypt. I won’t be here." Dr. Fox was found the next morning with a Bible on his chest and a smile on his face. The earthly sojourn of Emmet Fox had come to a quiet end in his beloved Paris."
