This all-pervading power is the power of divine love. It thinks. It organizes. It plans. It loves. It is the one which is the subtle of the ether, you can call it. It is the subtle of the matter. It is the subtle of your emotions. It is the subtle of your mental power. It is the subtle of your evolutionary power, but all integrated and coordinated in complete synchronization.

Nirmala Srivastava

The integrity of the subtle body is totally important. As the subtle body wears, we get sick. That is why, eventually, the body dies - it's because something happens to the subtle body.

Frederick Lenz

Be subtle! be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of business.

Sun Tzu

Kant's position is extremely subtle - so subtle, indeed, that no commentator seems to agree with any other as to what it is.

Roger Scruton

Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.

Ramana Maharshi

Bardot, Byron, Hitler, Hemingway, Monroe, Sade: we do not require our heroes to be subtle, just to be big. Then we can depend on someone to make them subtle.

D. J. Enright

Sound is a subtle form of speech and then more subtle than sound is silence and that's like the realm of being.

However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it.

Jim Hodges

If you're going to perform inception, you need imagination. You need the simplest version of the idea-the one that will grow naturally in the subject's mind. Subtle art.

Christopher Nolan

When you want some subtle emotions, you need some subtle vehicles for emotion.

David Cage

It's such a waste to be subtle and vicious with people who don't even know that you're being subtle and vicious

Ayn Rand

The subtle physical body is made up of strands of luminous energy, and the energies are flowing through them constantly in the etheric plane. Above the subtle body is the causal body.

Frederick Lenz

Spies cannot be usefully employed without a certain intuitive sagacity; They cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straightforwardness; Without subtle ingenuity of mind, one cannot make certain of the truth of their reports; Be subtle! be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of warfare; If a secret piece of news is divulged by a spy before the time is ripe, he must be put to death together with the man to whom the secret was told.

Sun Tzu

These energies when directed towards the subtle physical body cause the subtle physical body to break down, to lose its lumonisity.

Frederick Lenz

This is the law of prosperity: When apparent adversity comes, be not cast down by it, but make the best of it, and always look forward for better things, for conditions more prosperous. To hold yourself in this attitude of mind is to set into operation subtle, silent, and irresistible forces that sooner or later will actualize in material form that which is today merely an idea. But ideas have occult power, and ideas, when rightly planted and rightly tended, are the seeds that actualize material conditions.
