The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.

Far better it is for you to say: "I am a sinner," than to say: "I have no need of religion." The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.

Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.

We must go out to Pure Life, Pure Truth, Pure Love, and that is the definition of God. He is the ultimate goal of life; from Him we came, and in Him alone do we find our peace.

Truth must be sought at all costs, but separate isolated truths will not do. Truth is like life; it has to be taken on its entirety or not at all. . . . We must welcome truth even if it reproaches and inconveniences us -- even if it appears in the place where we thought it could not be found.

It is easy to find truth, though it is hard to face it, and harder still to follow it.

God could not keep, as it were, the secret of His love, and the telling of it was creation.
