Spirit Quotes

Although the word spirit has several connotations, it is mainly used to imply the incorporeal existence of our being as opposed to our material self. Spirit is defined as the animating force, the vital principle within living beings. It’s the extraneous, undying essence of human self, the deepest pit of human consciousness. It’s the inner voice, the awareness that urges you to be righteous, humble and diligent, no matter what. Here is a mind-blowing collection of famous spirit quotations and sayings to help you explore more on this.
