The Rose is without 'why'—she blooms because she blooms.

Christ could be born a thousand times in Bethlehem - but all in vain until He is born in me.

What is outside yourself does not convey much worth; Clothes do not make the man, the saddle not the horse.

If in your heart you make a manger for his birth then God will once again become a child on earth.

Love is difficult, because loving is not enough: We must, like God, ourselves be Love.

We keep so busy talking we are so keen to act that we forget that in the heart lies all we need untapped, intact.

By the will art thou lost, by the will art thou found, by the will art thou free, captive, and bound.
