The rose does not have a why; it blossums without reason, forgetful of self and oblivious to our vision.
Angelus SilesiusGod does not care what good you did, but why you did it. He does not grade the fruit but probes the core and tests the root.
Angelus SilesiusWhat is outside yourself does not convey much worth; Clothes do not make the man, the saddle not the horse.
Angelus SilesiusIf in your heart you make a manger for his birth then God will once again become a child on earth.
Angelus Silesius
