You must grow like a tree, not like a mushroom

To aim at the best and to remain essentially ourselves is one and the same thing.

In no order of things is adolescence the time of the simple life.

Our spiritual life is a venture in the dark, between the soul and God, and no spiritual life is worth the name unless it is so.

The great thing and the hard thing is to stick to things when you have outlived the first interest, and not yet got the second, which comes with a sort of mastery.

Every friendship with God and every love between Him and a soul is the only one of its kind.

Children with heaven in their eyes and an air of mystery about them, meditative and quiet, friends of God, friends of all, loved and loving and asking very little from the outer world, because they have more than enough within. They are classed as the dreamers, but they are really seers. They do not ask much and they do not need much beyond a reverent guardianship and to be let alone and allowed to grow; they will find this way for they are 'taught of God.
